With this album Wishbone Ash went in a heavier direction. The songs are more uptempo and contains more distorted guitars than before, and I like that. They also have some progressive elements in their music. Before they were kind of low key and in my opinion boring but this album is more my style. Actually I like it quite a lot. For example Stand and deliver is a fantastic song.

1)You see red (7,5) A nice slowtempo song with a good bassline, guitarsolo and catchy refrain.

2)Baby the angels are here (7,5) Same as above but without the refrain but with more feeling.

3)Ships in the sky (8,0) Beautiful intro and great Simon and Garfunkel-like singing and very melodic.

4)Stand and deliver (8,5) Very much Barclay James Harvest about this heavy and slow song with variations in tempo. Great mainriff. Truly great song!

5)Anger in harmony (5,0) A halfboring song that changes tempo to a heavy blues in the middle but it doesn't get better because of that. Misplaced guitarplaying.

6)Like a child (7,0) Nice melody and a capella-singing. Beautiful solo but a little too soft.

7)The way of the world (8,0) Fantastic melody in singing and guitarplaying with a cool bassline.

8)Stormy weather (7,0) What could have been a fantastic closer is destroyed by endless soloing.

Score: 7,31
