Rock music,(or since this was recorded in a great big cave,as Terry Pratchett would have it,"music with rocks in it"...) at its basic best...
I don't use 'basic' in a pejorative sense but in terms of how this band really have the basic building blocks in place: what I would term as 'sorted' (if only this were true of so many other better known and more 'popular' bands who rely on the filigree of one or two good ideas and not the architecture of continual application). Once all that's properly in place (by doing old-fashioned things like,maybe,'working hard' and 'rehearsing') you can go on and make intelligent music that has power,energy,passion and integrity (both structural and ethical)...anyhow;that's how I figure it after 50 years of listening, for what it's worth.
By the way,I like this band very much, I discover, (and so do a lot of other people judging by the - temporarily - neolithic audience in the cave).
