(Review from progarchives.com)

While it is generally recognised that Audience’s previous release “The house on the hill” was an excellent jazz/prog rock album, the views on “Lunch” are far more divided. “Lunch” should have seen Audience delving deeper into the jazz/prog sound they had created so well on tracks like “Jackdaw” and “House on the hill”. Instead they created simply a fun album, and not one to take too seriously.

The band’s sound is driven by Werth’s strong voice (somewhat reminiscent of CCR’s John Fogerty) and acoustic guitar — there are no electric guitars or synths — and the tenor sax of Bobby Keys. Drums, bass, piano, vibes, marimba, trumpet, trombone, flute and accordion fill out the mix, and impart a joyful atmosphere to the proceedings.

For fans of classic British rock who like to smile.
