| A popular but inept imitation of Cream |
I have the original vinyl recording. Basically, this band rode the hype created by power trios such as Cream and Hendrix. As opposed to those two bands, this band plods along from the opening set to the dull, boring, leaden last cut with its clunky exchange between Mark Farner and Mel Schacher, to the lifeless backbeat by Brewer. Mark Farner`s playing is easily imitable by dozens oflocal garage bands, he seems to revel in cutting virtually every solo from the E-minor chord. Best player is Don Brewer, the drummer, but his pyrotechnic drumming is no complement to the soulless noise one suffers through on this record.
If you must get this reissue CD, be forewarned- unless you really like these obnoxious louts. |

| Another classic for my collection |
| Grand Funk was everything about Rock n` Roll. Fantastic find at a great price. |

| A Promising Debut |
Finally found this one (actually had to special-order it) and I am really impressed. It took me quite awhile to get into these guys but I am certainly glad I did. While some slag this album as amateurish (and they may be right but I don`t care), I found this to be a great, albeit basic, hard rock stomper. I really enjoy this album from beginning to end as I do with it`s immediate follow-ups. I am very impressed by the heaviness and the blues-influences that are very evident. Great debut by an under-rated band. Plus, they`re from Michigan just as I am. If you are looking to purchase this album, buy the 2002 remaster which contains remastered sound and great liners.
