Man were one of the most promising rock bands to come out of Wales in the early '70s. 

Along with Brinsley Schwarz, they helped establish the core of the pub rock sound, 

but they played louder and also had a progressive component to their work that separated them 

from many of their rivals. The group originated as a Four Seasons-cum-Beach Boys 

vocal outfit, based in Swansea, Wales, called the Bystanders, who began experimenting 

with a tougher, more progressive sound on-stage. 

They were encouraged to pursue this direction, and Man were formed

A blast from Man's psychedelic past, this debut shows the band making an auspicious debut 

with Hammond-drenched guitar rock. It's easy to see, between the spacy effects 

and unearthly vocal choruses of their single "Sudden Life," how Man positioned themselves 

between the space prog of Nektar and the acid-fried rock of Quicksilver Messenger Service. 

When "The Future Hides Its Face" melds Apollo mission control transmissions with jamming, 

it's certainly evocative of time both musically and historically. "And Castles Rise in Children's Eyes" 

takes a more measured and orchestral approach, while the wonderful "Don't Just Stand There" 

is the great should-be single of the album, careening as it does between spiraling organ solos 

and sunny choruses of harmonica and Dylanesque vocals. Not every experiment works on this album, 

but when Man get it right, they get it very right...(AllMusic)
