One of the two relevant Bands with the Name Armageddon - this one is the british All-Star Band that featured former members of Renaissance, The Yardbirds, Steamhammer, Captain Beyond, The Johnny Winter Band and so on.
Q: How do they sound?!
A: Not as good as you might think
Hailed by many as a Cult-Classic i have to say that i'm not impressed by this record at all....it's true, that it features some nice Rockers, specially This One but the Ballad Silver Tightrope is so cheesy and bad, it almost makes me wanna puke: This Song is so disgusting that it has the horrible Power to turn a good overall Effort into a Pile of Crap almost instantly...i mean, how could they record something like that?!?!
Keith Relf's voice fits in the Category love it or hate it....i actually dont like it as it reminds me of Jon Anderson on several parts of the Album.
I don't say that you should avoid buying this but i tend to say that it is not as good as you might think after reading all this "Cult-Album"-Mambojambo. Parts of it are really good and others Parts suck badly...anyway, many People want this, so grab it up if you can get it cheap - at least it should be a safe Investment.
Small Note at the End: This was Armageddon's first and last Release because Keith Relf got killed by accidentaly electrocuting himself with a improperly grounded guitar. So always remember: Safety first! ;)
