Negative Positive
Title: I beg to differ
Review: We were treated to some outright classics in the seventies but we also got served up our fair share of lame pretenders. I didn't hear Flash the first time round but bought this on the strength of the reviews they were getting on Amazon.I have not heard other Flash albums so I do not know if this CD truly represents the band , but if you give this four or five stars then I guess "Close to the Edge" by Yes has to get 20.Flash are definately progressive and that they sound like the first two "Yes" albums is self evident but is that enough. "Yes" improved well past these fledgling steps.Flash seems second division to me and the singer is less than convincing. Sometimes the lyrics are clumsy and really pretentious. With so much great music out there to discover I don't know why you would tether yourself to this. Let's see, I could put on some early Genesis or Gentle Giant, maybe some Floyd or Groundhogs. No, I know, I'll get out me ole Flash album, I think not.
Is the review positive or negative?
