I own this album. Due to poor production values, itrates only as a good garage band. But it has Layla, done much better in other places.

Well your amp obviously doesn't go to eleven either, I'm sure. |

Yes, poorly mixed, even the anniversary remix, but still one hell of an album. I tried to remaster half of the album. I could fish out the guitars, but the vocals are so thin and right on top of the guitars that the end product sucked. Just gotta love it for what it is ... |

Wow for all the bitching this song has a high rating. I give it a good 7.

Weak track on an otherwise great album. This version throws away any pretence at melody in favour of a tedious thrash with a pyrotechnic guitar solo that is just showing off how fast the notes can be played rather than trying to create something of beauty, emotion and expression, normally Eric's strengths.

I never really got into this era of Erics career. The vocals (harmonies ???) are too discordant for my tastes.

I think you are correct on this. From what I've read, lots of coke and heroin amongst the proceedings. |

And I'm still trying to figure out what "congered" means. |

I'm happy for them as humans, that they're off the scag, but my musical self misses their drug influenced creativity. . .  Sadly or not, my favorite music seems to have come from heroin addicts. |

Me too, Westslope. I have about 10 cds of his but just had to turn this down a bit so I could concentrate. |

I still remember when this album was released. I was in 10th grade and thought it was fantastic. Still do. This entire album rates a 10.
