Title: Breaking the mold
Product review: I was shocked when I read a negative review of this album where the reviewer said there weren't any hit singles from it. Well, the same goes for Sgt. Pepper, and like that, "Something Happening" is a fantastic album. This is where the Raiders made the transition from bubblegum pop to hard rock, and they deftly straddle both sides of that fence. Here, there's sappy stuff like "Happens Every Day" and "Observation from Flight 285" side by side with hard rockers like "Get out of my Mind" and "Communication." In between, we've got perfect pop gems like "Too Much Talk," "Burn Like a Candle" and the TV show themes. As much as I love the stuff with Fang, Drake & Smitty, this album is leaps and bounds ahead of "Spirit of '67."
