It's very true, GRAVY TRAIN were never considered as A 'top shelf' Prog act, but they have givenUs Some memorable moments (I'm not familiar with 'Second Birth, but ownThe Other 3lp 's) - with'Staircase To The Day 'We haveA Stunning Roger Dean Gatefold SleeveTo Enhance TheLISTENING Experience, which may contain some vocal shortcomings (Norman HasA rather abrasive qualityToHIS voice, and he is often very passionate inHIS Delivery, This MakesHIS VOX Quite on AcquiredTaste ).
Opening with The dynamic track 'Starbright Starlight', it suggests that The listener may haveA winning hand with this album. PETE Solley's synth work being A treat, and The tune itself quite memorable. 'Bring My LIFE On BackTo Me' isA rather standard tune, but Norman sings inA very emotionally disturbed fashion,You almost feelHIS angry and disappointed,HIS pain....or is it just painful To hearTo ?? 'Never Wanted You ' is an excellent tune featuring some odd meters and mellotron (always exciting prog embellishments) and finishing TheFirst side isThe beautiful title song - 7 andA half minutesof prog bliss, with Mary Zinovieff (possibly relatedTo Peter Zinovieffof EMS London ??) On synthesizer.
'Going FOR A QuickOne 'starts off withA decent riff leading intoOne hard-rockin' tune with moreof Solley's synth work -The backing vocals byThe 'Gospel Ayres' gives it A commercial touch though. ' The Last Day ' isA light tune with some nice flute playing, but lacks excitement, 'EveningOf My Life ' isA pretty, piano driven ballad and closing track 'Busted In Schenectady' is quite an epic, fullofHEAVY riffing, exceptional guitar playing, and even some shimmering electric violin. My overall rating is A 4 - just. (Tom Ozric/progarchives.com)
