Title: Never mix rock and fantasy
Product review: For the most part, I love Hawkwind. True, sometimes their lyrics are sophomoric but that is part of their charm. Hawkwind's enduring strength lies in their ability to mix their unique spacey sonics with flat out rock and roll. Unfortunately, The chronicle of the Black Sword offer very little of either. Instead we get a band trying to create an epic fantasy recording but ending up with a product that is the worst of both rock and fantasy worlds.Instead of sounding fantastic they sound lame. Instead of rocking they leave you waiting for a sound that never comes. This record is a failure on every level. Perhaps if I were an adolescent with no taste in either fantasy or rock I might find it listenable - As it is I really wish I hadn't bought it.
