Customer Reviews

Great Album
I got this album for two reasons - the 'Weekend World' theme that I'd always loved (and lately heard again on You Tube) along with a vague notion that I'd heard the album once or twice when it was first released and that I'd liked what I heard but never got round to buying it. Without doubt, this is a great album. Dubbed as America's answer to Cream, Mountain went a stage further by making their music rock. Each track has their stamp upon it and all topped off with Leslie West's astounding guitar expertise. This is heavy rock but with subliminal overtones built around the big man's mega-sound riff work and sweet soloing. Buy and you'll not regret.

From the summit
Repertoire seem to have a good eye for great albums that fall off the radar and this hard rocking gem is a perfect example. The yelling vocals and powerchording may sound somewhat derivative but the material is superb and the execution vital. "Don't Look Around", with its thunderous opening, is irresistible hard rock. Don't underestimate Steve Knight's organ-playing, though, which hauntingly underlines the guitar across the album. The title track is the centrepiece, smouldering, changing gear, exploding into that little section made famous as the theme to the 1970s TV programme, "Weekend World". Other major highlights are "My Lady" and "Travelling In The Dark", but there are no poor tracks.

As ever, Repertoire's presentation (gatefold facsimile, booklet, original artwork) is superb. You've got no excuse for not buying this if you like 1970s hard rock.
