Genre: Melodic Prog from Canada
4 out of 5
Highlights:
Rollin’ with the Times
Down on the Street
Things Gotta Change
This one starts off slowly, “RnR Survival” teasing the rest of the album, almost daring you to take a pass. It serves as a 3 minute mellow overture to a a record that could double as a rock opera.
It plays like ELO with less budget or Styx.
The more it plays, the more I believe it’s a concept album and every bit as effective as any of the era. I really wonder what they might have come up had they landed a contract with a major and got pushed onto the hamster wheel.
The confidence to pull off the bizarre horror show that is “Terror in the Streets” is on par with some of the best of The Tubes.
