You've Gone Too Far sounds exactly like a 90s Grunge song, with it's contemplative, mind numbing chords, robotic guitar strum as well as the distant, melancholic vocal so devoid of expression and the bleak lyrics. Silver Star is a overwrought rocker with Ted Nugent cat strangling guitar licks but a mellow harmony verses that don't mesh well and have no business being in the same song. Personal Gain is practically a Deep Purple song, with all that band's hallmarks; a deep British sounding howler, pumped speed drumming, a jacked up funky rhytmm, heavy metal chord changes and overdriven organ all wrapped up in a tight jam structure. Jezebel, Give Me Your Lovin is also similar to Deep Purple as well as Mountain and Vanilla Fudge but with a funky hoedown beat,Tomorrow is a very quiet acoustic number with quiet finger pickin accentuated by little string scratches and a vibraphone chiming along before a louder, distorted part with some treated vocals and a flanged drone in the background like a helicopter flying overhead panning around in the audio channels. Lady of the Silent Opera is even bigger and more adventurous with sweeping orchestra parts and slow jazzy verses that remind me of the jazz metal of Black Sabbath's Never Say Die. The strings on Lady of the Silent Opera are so folksy, the violins and fiddles stand out in their high ragged sound, particularly as a melodic rock guitar enters the fray and the playing becomes more fluid with crashing drums it is an sublime if analogous finale to the album.

Tin House (1971) You've Gone Too Far - LOST 70s GEMS
This Rik Derringer produced hard rock album is a tough one; balancing all too brief melodic elements with very stodgy metallic blues playing and slow tribal jazz beats. I Want Your Body features incredible orgasm sound effects to add to the motor paced bop as well as a corny lip smacking at the end reminding us this was an underground album. The Deep Purple/Medicine Head styled stencilled in metal album cover is nice fitting the band's name as it is built around very rugged guitar riffs full of meaty, whining guitar licks, metallic tonal qualities, an overuse of legato and incessant string pulls wailing away.
