Apparently this was a concept album/rock opera that greatly inspired the Who's "Tommy", to the extent that when this one was released in the US after a sizeable delay, they were accused of copying the Who! The concept album thing is kind of lost on me because, as usual, the lyrics didn't really interest me beyond musically filling in their spot within the songs.
To be honest, I'd never heard this band or album, but to my ears it is just good music, no more no less. It sounds like a rowdier Beatles... which sounds like I'm describing the Rolling Stones, but I'd say I preferred this to a lot of RS stuff.
