(Review from amazon, starling.ru)

While 1972′s ‘Rock and Roll Music To the World’ is often panned as a shallow effort for Ten Years After, a large number of quality tracks received airplay on the burgeoning FM radio dial. A lot of the music is good, old-fashioned rock and roll.

The album kicks off with the magnificent rocker ‘You Give Me Loving’ which gives absolutely no quarter. With its pulsating, driving seven-note riff and angry, scornful lyrics, it stands up several heads higher than anything else on this record.

Other highlights include the roaring ‘Choo Choo Mama’ which became a staple at concerts for a number of years to come, ‘Standing At the Station’ giving keyboardist Chick Churchill and bassist Leo Lyons opportunities to solo, the lone country-rock track .

The compositions at times offer lyrical depth. ‘Religion’, for example, has the strongest philosophical bent, offering reasonings such as “once you’re dead there’s nothing left for giving, so life means fighting for your every breath”. On ‘Convention Prevention’, one of my favorite tunes from the disc, Lee turns some nice phrases such as, “I’d like to reach out to you and learn just how do you do, so we can still relate; I’d like to open my mind so you can come inside, and see that we communicate”. The ‘dream’ of the psycedelic ’60′s is given a final nod in ‘Rock and Roll Music To the World’ as Lee intones, “Give peace a chance, get up and dance”.
