It's hard To believe this is TheSameband thatRecorded "Undecided", or evenTheSameband that Recorded masterpiece justA year earlier -The development is just amazing. The band are so much more fluent in their playing, and so much more ambitious in their compositions. Seems The TimeThe influencesTo which they were exposed, did themA lotof good. FOR The most part, they've gone in The direction ofHEAVY skirt,A la Led Zeppelin. "Easy To LieFORA Lost Gypsy" are emblematic. The opening sequence of "Rio DEThe most impressive in this vein -ifYou pay close attentionYouCan hear that they areSTILL based On fairly simple chord changes andThe usual modal scales, butThe interplay betweenThe instruments makes themSound Considerably more complex and thrilling.

"I'm Your Satisfier" is A fairly simple blues rock tune bearing TheTo their previous work (it pretty much takes up where "Think AboutTOMORROW "Today" left off). "Because I LOVE YouA radio favorite. "Song FOR Joey" is A brief acoustic guitar solo. There are times where their influences are worn too closely, FOR me The major issue is Jim Keays' vocals. HIS natural range is baritone, and earlier Records stuck mostly ToA middle tessitura. However, here he often seems intent On imitating Robert Plant, and HISThe high tenor range do notSound comfortable. ( ) An excellent album - One ofThe best Australian albumsofThe period.
