This album is abosolutely incredible, I just picked it up recently and it's on the fast track towards becoming one of my favorite albums ever. Every track on the record is perfectly constructed, the stand-out tracks are "Day of the Eagle", "Too Rolling Stoned", "Lady Love", "Little Bit of Sympathy", and, of course, the title track. Robin Trower's playing on this record is incredible, it's not your basic Hendrix-copying blues rock. Too Rolling Stoned is a funk inspired song, Day of the Eagle is pure hard rock, and Bridge of Sighs is a melodic masterpiece. James Dewar is one hell of a singer, his vocals are incredibly smooth and soulful, as is his bass playing. Finally, Reg Isidore's tight drumming compliments everything perfectly. This is one of the greatest three peice bands there is, up there with Cream, Rush, and ZZ Top. I highly reccomend this album to any fan of good music.
