good stuff

Stop, Look & Listen is probably a slight improvement over their self-titled album, but the songwriting still feels pretty weak overall. Sometimes the vocal melodies drag a little longer than necessary, not to mention the guitar playing is secondrate at best.

The lead singer had potential though. I like the sound of his voice, at least. I have no idea whether he's still around these days and singing or whether he retired a long time ago.

Still, this album is extremely inoffensive hard/progressive rock, and you can't go wrong with that. Don't expect the songwriting or guitar playing to completely blow you away and you'll be fine.

Epitaph - Epitaph (1971) [Reissue 2005]

....If you're looking for a piece of excellent musicianship
that has probably NEVER been played on the radio,
then Epitaph's first self-titled album/CD is for you.
Ever since I first heard this well-crafted rock album,
I was hooked.
Formed around 1969, the band is half German,
half British, and their music is like a fusion of
Deep Purple or Uriah Heep meets King Crimson.
Though they were never popular in the U.S.,
their musical creativity is on full display in every song,
including the bonus tracks!!!!
