Imagine a Teutonic, second string Black Sabbath and you&#039;d know what to expect on the first two thirds of this one. The last third of the track lead into a much tougher song, complete with a blazing Titlbach solo and some funky studio effects at the tail end. &#039;Pretty Talking Girl&#039; was an unexpected ballad. Surprisingly pretty, the only complaint was that clocking in at under 90 seconds the song ended before it really got going. &#039;Pauline&#039; kicked along by a funky!

A fantastic laidback number with Unte holding back some of his normal aggressive vocal power to deliver a surprisingly sensitive performance. This one had another nice Oldenburg bass line and chiming Titlbach lead guitar. The only complaint here was that the song closed out as a standard blues-rock jam complete with hideous harmonica solo. Side two starts with &#039;Looking For A Decent Freedom&#039; and found the band branching off in a more psych direction. The overall feel was still heavy metal with a nice guitar hook, but Unte&#039;s screaming vocals were treated to give the song kind of lysergic feel. With its pounding opening &#039;Cry For Relief&#039; instantly attracted my attention, but about 20 second in the track abruptly switched tempo becoming a Doors-styled blues-rocker. I will tell you that Titlbach turned in one hell of a wah-wah solo on this one. Another atypical number &#039;Thought After&#039; offered up an pretty 90 second acoustic ballad. Would have been one of the better tracks if they&#039;d bothered to extend the length. &#039;Life 69&#039; was a relatively funky blues workout with multi-tracked vocals. It was also one of the few tracks to showcase drummer Haubold. &#039;Big Fat Woman Blues&#039; is a blues-rocker that showcases Rudolf Oldenburg&#039;s bass work. Just after the release of the second album &#039;Can&#039;t Get Through&#039; in the middle of 1971, the group called it a day. &#039;Eyes&#039; is an early classic of German independent underground music.
