Rod Stewart – The Rod Stewart Album (Secondhand) Bar Italia at times riding the knife

at times riding the knife edge of controlled chaos that Roughan has made his hallmark

Lake and Palmer features one of the first improvised Moog synthesizer solos ever recorded on "Lucky Man"

all laced with an uncanny air of bliss

The riots seemed to have heightened that kind of dread

it sets the tone for an album that is both thrashing and tuneful but never pointlessly macho
