Russia
Russia
Genre: Melodica rock from…Seattle.
4.5 out of 5
Highlights:
Fight Back
Who Do You Think You Are?
Gotta Get Away
Piece of Ice
In a year these guys would change their name to Force 10. This debut is a whacked out assortment of pomp rock in the Supertramp/Styx vein.
I mean, “Gotta Get Away” is bonkers, man.
“Laughing in the Face of Fire” is Bowie with humor and it’s followed by “If I Were You” which is dripping in 70s glam.
I really loved this album.
It’s Cheap Trick and Supertramp and BoomTown Rats and Queen and…a frigging holy mess of a kitchen sink. It’s a wild ride.
