"Pleasant and unchallenging album. I can hear the enjoyment of making this music. Nice bouncy guitars and standard lyrics. Nothing new but nice enough. At The Farm was one of the more engaging tracks and 'Is and Is and Is' was another favorite."  Reply

"Their mid/late 70's masterpiece. Every track is exceptional, with four masterpieces:- Spirit of the age, Damnation alley, Hassan I sahba and Days of the underground. Space rock never sounded so good!!! And does anyone know what came first - the film Damnation alley (1977) or the track on this LP ..."  [+]  Reply
