(Review from allmusic, progarchives.com)

Lucifer’s Friend were never content to stay within one musical style, but always preferred to move on to new territories with each subsequent album.

On their third album, Lucifer’s Friend took a new tack: instead of being a progressive band or a hard rock band, they decided to incorporate both styles into a more ambitious sound that also worked in elements of soul and jazz. The dark and heavy approach is left behind here, even the lyrics are considerably more lighthearted. Instrumental solos are also scarcer here.

As a result, the tracks are listener friendly, yet have their own distinctive feel; a notable example is “Groovin’ Stone,” a song that was their most straightforward hard rock song to date, yet also offered a number of interesting keyboard and percussive shadings that the listener wouldn’t normally expect from such a tune.

Other standouts include “Blind Freedom”, a jazzy tune that features strong harmonies (all overdubbed by lead vocalist John Lawton) plus some serpentine electric piano work, and the title track, a tongue-in-cheek sendup of rock & roll life that combines an old fashioned rock & roll melody with a giant wall of sound production (complete with a Blood Sweat and Tears-style horn section).

The band tries out many different musical elements throught the album, offering an array of tuneful, well-crafted tracks.
