An underrated classic album - This was the first album after Martin Turner left the group and perhaps surprisingly it was (in my opinion) very strong, though quite different to any previous or later albums. Whilst I remain a fan, I don t think any album has reached this level since. Lead vocals were shared between John Wetton (bass and vocals for this album only and he did not tour), Andy Powell and Laurie Wisefield. Back-up vocals were augmented by Claire Hamill (who co-wrote Living Proof with LW and did tour). A couple of weak songs but mainly very strong original tracks (apart from the cover of Get Ready which I also think is a great version), including the title track and Underground which was also released as a single. Seems to be quite a rare album on CD for some reason, but definitely a very underrated Wishbone Ash album.
not the best, not the worst - a transition album .the first without martin turner. it lacks direction and has some dodgy covered material.the wishbone ash tracks generally work. it has a couple of tracks that would have fitted well into the first asia album. not surprising, with john wetton on bass and vocals.
A classic Wishbone Ash album - The overall sound of the album is very guitar-oriented. The best song on the album, in my humble opinion, is the title track, with its long guitar solo in the end almost classifies this song as a typical Wishbone Ash two part song.
