Groundhogs 3rd album, with the same line-up moved even more away from the blues than their latest album the year before. They instead moved into more strange, psychadelic and progressive rock and hardrock mixed with melodic parts.
1)Strange town (6,5)
2)Darkness is no friend (5,0) Very strange progressive rocker.
3)Soldier (7,0) Strange singing in this one. They're constantly avoiding "normal" melodies in the singing but the guitarparts have more normal arrangements and I like those parts.
4)Thanks christ for the bomb (4,0) First ordinary melodic acoustic and then chaotic electric chaos. What's the point?
5)Ship on the ocean (6,5) A quite straight rocker. Absolutely no blues on this album!
6)Garden (7,0) By now this album has turned into more convienient rock even though Groundhogs always have their own twist on things...
7)Status people (5,0) Really weird guitar-vocal combination. Progressive stuff!
8)Rich man, poor man (7,0) A good straight rocker.
9)Eccentric man (6,5)
Score: 6,06
