1974 Original, Still In Shrink. Two Small Corner Rubs. The Group's First Album For Polydor Is Several Steps Above Their EMI Work. Most Of The Psychedelic-Era Influences Are Softened Here And Broadened, And Transmuted Into Something Heavier And More Serious, Even As The Beatle-Esque Harmonies Remain Intact. The Guitars Sound Real Heavy, Almost Larger Than Life Here, While The Swelling Mellotron And Synthesizer Sounds Give The Music The Feel Of An Orchestra. The Group Had Also Mastered By This Time The Pink Floyd Technique Of Playing Pretty Tunes Really Slowly, Which Made Them Sound Incredibly Profound (It's Actually A Technique That Goes Back, In Different Forms, To Gustav Mahler And Anton Bruckner). John Lees Gives Superb, Virtuoso Performances On Lead Guitar On "Paper Wings" And "For No One." Les Holroyd's Gorgeous "Poor Boy Blues" Sounded More Like Crosby, Stills & Nash Than CSN Did In Those Days.” – Bruce Eder, All Music Guide.
