CD ReviewsThe forgotten second album Andy Hula | Plattsmouth, NE | 07/13/2000 (3 out of 5 stars) "Nazareth's second album, is kind-of out of place, being released between their harder rocking debut album and their pioneering heavy metal breakthrough Razamanaz. The songs on this album are mostly acoustic ditties like "Cat's Eye, Apple Pie" and "Fool About You" with some semi-hard blues rock thrown in "Woke Up This Morning." There is also one of the most definitive angry-atheist statements ever in "I Will Not Be Led." The album's sound is somewhat comparible to Led Zeppelin III, but not as good or even as varied. Manny Charlton's guitar work is excellent throughout, and Dan McCafferty's voice is less ripping as in later releases. The Les Paul guitar tones, especially on "Madelaine", are reminiscent of Steve Hackett's work with Genesis. In fact this whole album sounds like a mixture of early Genesis songs (like "Happy the Man"),Led Zeppelin III's acoustic parts, acoustic Jethro Tull, and Nazareth's debut. Overall, mostly of interest to serious Nazareth fans and those interested in early "70's British rock." Better then the first CD Peter Stirling | Aurora, Ontario Canada | 06/02/2001 (2 out of 5 stars) "The first CD was worth one star for its opening track. The second effort "Exercises" gets two stars for another great opening track "I Will Not Be Led" and two great country ditties "Cat's Eye" and "Fool About You"Alas, "I will not be led" could have been really great but misguided use of the dreaded fuzz box effect on the guitar really dates this tune. The two country songs mentioned above are very fun if somewhat silly and have great bouncy acoustic guitar strumming by Manny. However if you are looking for a "razamanaz" style tune in this collection you will be sorely disapointed!!The band was obviously struggling with its musical direction on the first two albums and thankfully Roger Glover from Deep Purple saved the day by producing their next album "Razamanaz" and the hard rockers never looked back, and that is the place to start your collection!" Very laid back album you can relax too. jason fournier | st clair shores, michigan United States | 04/11/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "once again another great opening track, followed by some catch celtic style folk ballads. I love heavy nazareth, but some of this softer, more native sounding songs are really good. Most tunes on here you would not think of as being by nazareth, which is good in my eyes. I like going through a bands catalog, and enjoying a wide range of styles. This is one band that had many styles, and at least part of each style was very very good. Why they never made it huge, i dont know."
