米のプログレだけど音は欧州。
俺の嫌いなカンサスみたいにカチッカチッとしたハードな感じではなく非常にアレンジも凝っていて叙情性がある。
ヴォーカルはニールヤングのようにクセがあり、ジョンアンダーソンのようにハイトーン。
鳥肌ものの2NDアルバム。
しかしこのバンドはこのアルバムで終わっておくべきだったかもしれない。
アルバムの中身はなんですか英国プログレからの影響を受けたサウンドになっておりまして。これはアメリカントップ40にははいりませんね。こういうプチ芸術的なサウンドがアメリカでもあったわけですねこれは驚きです。メロトロンがアンビエントに鳴っております。ボーカルのキャラがかなり濃いのでこのボーカルなしにはバンドは存続しえなかったと言えるかと思います。このアンチコマーシャルなサウンド構成と演奏はやはり貴重です。
アリーナロック(トト、ナイトレンジャー、サバイバーなどなど)という莫大な利益優先バンド=企業が=ほとんどな貧困なアメリカ。こういうすばらしいバンドもあったということが貴重。なおゲストで=ビルブルッフォード、アンディーマッケー、エリオットランドードル、マイケルブレッカーなどが参加しております。アートロックと言う名前が似合うバンド。現在このバンドのスピリッツはラッシュが一部継承していると言えます。ラッシュのハードロックな部分を抜いた感じですかね。楽曲と言い演奏と言いボーカルもバランスがとれたスリリングな傑作。

With such a fabulous debut album, the band's second offering would naturally be under extra scrutiny. As can sometimes be the case, the often difficult 'second' album can be a let-down - not in this case. After the dazzling pyrotechnics of "Pampered Menial" this follow-up has a generally more restrained & gentler feel, with the band yet again displaying it's wonderful musicianship. The band's distinctive Prog-Rock sound is often melodic & haunting in this collection.
Yet again there isn't a dud track or filler, with five of the titles being David Surkamp compositions, with the rest consisting of Surkamp/Doug Rayburn collaborations. As usual, Surkamp's distinctive high-pitch vocals are an unusual but very effective instrument used to express the emotions within the lyrics - having only recently discovered the band, I'm now fully tuned in to this guy's wavelength! Difficult to pick a fave track although I do have a soft spot for "She Came Shining", but it's quality stuff throughout. Although the pampered one remains my favourite, this is an excellent album. While enjoying a healthy following, Pavlov's Dog fully deserve to be heard by a wider audience - highly recommended!
To me, this album is more than just a 'rock classic,' it is one of my favorite all-time recodings ever! And, trust me folks, I rarely dish our such superlatives. Many times, as we all know, albums by groups will contain one, or maybe just a few good/great songs, and that's it. Not here--this entire album is wonderful!
I don't like categorizing things, especially music, but a combination, really, of progressive rock, jazz, mainstream rock, ballads, pop, and even top forty is present here. But, in reality, none of that matters. What this is, simply put, is GREAT music! The tunes, all of them, are clever, beautiful, honest, and downright pretty! I bought this album when it came out in 1976, having already owned the group's first effort, the rocking PAMPERED MENIAL. The imapct and magnitude of its beauty, however, didn't hit me until some years later. Perhaps I was just to stupid or confounded at the time to appreciate it, but, after being away from it for many years, it came back to me like a long-lost best friend! I remember crying the first time I listened to it the second time around! It still makes me cry to this day! That's how very beautiful this recording is. Even more, to me personally, it is prophetic, even scary! The wonderful, epic tune "Did You See Him Cry" hit me like a truckload of bricks, for I had (bewteen listening in the 70's and redicovery in the 90's) lived and experienced what this wonderful song is all about. It touches my heart and makes me ever-recognize my humanity now, and my apparent lack of humanity in the 80's. For I saw and experienced the gentleman this song sings about.
How this album could be anything but great, is beyond reproach. I remember a review in the seventies (right before this album came out) which described David Surkamp as sounding like a 'choirboy on speed.' More acurately, he sounds closer to Rush's Geddy Lee. But, after many listens, one will see that David really is quite a bit different, and even better (IMHO) than Geddy Lee!
The cast of musicians assembled here is phenomenal: drummer Bill Bruford (the original YES drummer); the wonderful and soulful sax of Michael Brecker; saxman Andy Mackay (an original member of Roxy Music); and band regular, guitarist Stephen Scorfina (the original guitarist with REO Speedwagon). And let me tell you, folks, these cats rock! I hear something new every time I listen to this album--and I've listened to it hundreds and hundreds of times! Listen, especially, to Mr. Bruford's drumming on "Did You See Him Cry." I think only Bill could give this effort--no one else. Phenominal Bill, just amazing! Thanks!
All in all, each and every song on this album is great! I don't think I own one other album about which I can say this! The music here is wonderful; the lyrics are witty, crafty, artful, and beautiful. The way the songs are arranged (order-wise, I mean) is terrific, and more effective than I've ever heard. This album is truly one of those so-called Island Classics, for me.
We've all heard of the oft-used, and over-used term "Rock Classic," well, this one, IMHO, should be at the top of any such list. In fact, (and I have been a rocker since the 60's) this is one of my favorite albums of all time, without question!
Thank you to David Surkamp, Douglas Rayburn, et. al., for such a wonderful, personally fulfilling, prophetic, and beautiful album. I could never thank you guys enough!
Rock On, Kids,
