Title: Spotty first attempt
Review: This is the long lost double LP from 1990, slightly shortened to apparently no ill effect and put on CD. Well, my take is its not quite the legend its been made out to be, yet still quite good. Bad mixing is at times annoying as are a few of the hair-brained ideas the crazed duo comes up with ('Chord' will either take you to wonderful places or drive you mad)while 'Dance', a component of Lake part 2 is clearly the work of a novice and quite obnoxious.) But amongst all the clutter there are some truly marvelous moments like the fabulous closer 'Goat' and much of Lake part one. Although not the perfect album by any means, Lake is still quite enjoyable, especially when you don't focus all your attention on it.
Is the review positive or negative?
