Title: a classic Afro Prog masterpiece
Review: The late 60s through early 70s was a transcendental time for music and though War began as a blues band backing up Eric Burdon at the beginning of his solo career after he left the Animals, they soon began recording albums of original music. This is their third album after the Burdon years and it very well may be their best. Along with Mandrill, Funkadelic, Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, Tower Of Power and many others, War composed music that was in retrospect, the American creative counterpart of the lofty idealistic music of British progressive rockers like Yes and ELP. Hence the current moniker Afro Prog is indeed well earned. With epic compositions such as The World Is A Ghetto, City, Country, City and Four Cornered Room it is easy to see why.
