CD Reviews

Bruce still trying to find his voice

12/14/2002

(3 out of 5 stars)

"The Head on Album was written in short period and it shows. The band didn't have a proper producer so the sound suffers from it. There are some great tracks as "Take me to your leader" and "Walking out on you". But Paul Samson didn't deliver much memorable riffs on this one. He didn't innovate the guitar sound like BNWOHM bands like Maiden, Angel Witch, and Diamond Head. In addition, Bruce is still trying to sound alot like Ian Gillan and Arthur Brown on this. He tries to scream at times but the music is too weak to use those Banshee wails. The bonus track Angel with a Machine gun is good and the Kingsway Jam session is too overindulgent. If you are a Dickinson completist like me get it. If you want a sample of Dickinson's Samson stuff then get SHock Tactics and Live at Reading 81 those are better produced and written."
