referencing Get Your Dog Off Me, LP, Album, 6360 090

Keeping the inspiration up while everything goes awry is hard and this album is there to prove it. BO falls into the same trap as many did before and afterwards: an attempt to commercialize the sound, thereby sacrificing the characteristics that made the band unique. Ugly compromises are the inevitable result. The frighteningly commercial title track sounds wonderful, great guitars galore, but is empty from all emotion. A cross-breed between Nazareth and McCartney's Wings is not our idea of exciting music. The rest is questionable half-hard rock, beefed up with false energy. Only the closing ''Working man shows'' something that remotely sounds like inspired musicianship. Obviously too little.
