Today, we start a topic about what happens to groups that go from raw talent with very little production ability to the same group of people at the top of their game. We'll start with Procol Harum from when Robin Trower left to form the Robin Trower Group.
Procol Harum replaced Trower with a very good, very accomplish guitarist who disappeared from History as there were a lot of very good and very accomplished guitarists out there. By now, Procol Harum was at their height of their abilities and craftsmanship, and they're running into the same problem that happens to all groups that very good at what they do: where do we go from here???? If they do the same things over and over again, they'll become staid and will start losing fans. If they change, they'll piss off fans and lose them that way, but maybe they'll gain new fans? In effect, they have become victims of their success. Case in point, is The Grand Hotel. This album's got everything, from an anthem to a song about getting the clap and everything in between. And it was panned at the time by the critics. Oh well....... 1 Grand Hotel 2 Toujours L'Amour 3 A Rum Tale 4 T.V. Caesar  Grand Hotel  Procol Harum/Toujours L'amour  Procol Harum - A Rum Tale  T.V.

Our next "victim of their own success" is the Ohio Players. When we started with them, they were just a band that did the rock/funk of the late '60s and were actually pretty good with it. Then in the '70s, they discovered that sex sells! On the other hand, they were still developing artists.
Now, we have two albums, Fire and Honey, that are probably the high point of their musical abilities and craftsmanship. The songs of these two albums, while still keeping true to "sex sells," are...words like great, fantastic etc are coming off cheap unfortunately, but the music is constructed with great melodies, harmonies, lyrical content, arrangements and orchestrations and just enough musical experimentation. These two albums easily rival anything Quincy Jones was doing at the same time, and the Ohio Players all did it in house. First the hits!!!

(Finally, for the above post, I didn't screw anything up!)
The next set of songs were probably never played on the radio, but I promise every one of them is a well produced song and worth listening to. But, alas, as these two albums represent the high point of the Ohio Players development, that means there's only one direction to go next. But, in this case it was because fans moved on because this level of talent became "the same ol' thing."  Alone (Live)  Failed To Load Title  Failed To Load Title  Failed To Load Title |

Black Sabbath also went through from up upon High to...what the critics, a lot of "fair weather fans," and even Ozzy would claim...to the lowest of lows as the worst album Black Sabbath ever did. We'll have to agree to disagree. Besides Disco, drug addiction, alcohol abuse, and Ozzy, Black Sabbath had way more than their share of problems. I don't think this album is one of them. (Production wise, many problems, but nothing they couldn't mitigate.)

There isn't a song on this album that isn't worth anyone's time listening to it. It is different from previous albums, and there's a price to pay for that. And if it was the same as previous albums, there is a price to pay for that.

Yes, Gentle Sports Fans, even the Mighty Led Zeppelin had their reputations sullied by critiques and alleged fans alike over the album Presence.
Oddly enough, this was their most rockingist album: stripped down production bordering on raw like a "live" performance and no hint of 17th and 18th English music. The album even shipped out "Gold" its first day of release. And people were disappointed. I was a sophomore at the time. This is when I learned I was surrounded by...IDIOTS!!

As promised from yesterday, here is the one group that, at least outwardly/publicly, just doesn't give a fuck about the establishment's opinion.
The other thing to remember is that almost 50 years ago, or 36-37 albums ago depending on how you want to mark Time, the Critics and a lot of aficionado fans said this is the beginning of the End!!! Gentlemen, this is what the end of a once successful career sounds like: 1 Dancing with Mr. D 2 100 Years Ago 3 Coming Down Again 4 Doo Doo Etc. Heart Breaker (Stupid title) 5 Angie (This song was a monster hit, effing huge. I didn't get it as a 12 year old, still not getting at 61.)

More progrock!!! Yes, this stuff takes work to understand, or put another way, get into! It's like some of the sub-genres of Metal these days. You're not doing it for the money or the chicks, you're doing it because you have the skill and the talent. Taylor Swift could not ever, never ever, pull off an album like Tarkus from ELP. I'm not sure she has the musicianship to play music with rhythms as complex as flamenco rhythms. Second, her fans would shrink away in horror because it would remind them of algebra.
So, Tarkus is a tough album to figure out what the hell is going on. Here's a small guide. The tank like Armadillo has a battle with a Manticore and wins, but loses much of himself that he is transformed into Aquatarkus, but wonders what it was all for.  That's the nut shell. The nut meat itself is even harder to grasp. But first, side one:1 Tarkus: -Eruption -Stones of Years -Iconoclast -Mass -Manticore -Battlefield -Aquatarkus  Failed To Load Title |

Another thing to think about is that the lyrics are good at painting the picture. HOWEVER, they're a trap. They lead you away in the opposite direction........90% of the time. Except for "Are you Ready, Eddy." That's a rocking song at the end for fun.

Today, to continue on our journey, is Camel!
Who???? Yes, those guys. They were for the most part, a Band's Band. However, their style was foundational and influenced a lot of English bands and musicians. An argument can be made that without Camel, there might not have been Trip Hop, Acid Jazz or even Chill sub-genres. Some of you younger people probably listened to such music from the '90s through the '00s. This is their Granddaddy right here. First we start off with the album Mirage: 1 Freefall 2 Supertwister 3 Nimrodel/The Procession/The White Rider 4 Earthrise 5 Lady Fantasy: Encounter/Smiles for You/Lady Fantasy  Supertwister  Nimrodel / The Procession / The White Rider  Lady Fantasy: Encounter / Smiles for You / Lady Fantasy The popularity of this album, such as it was, coincided or "rode the coat-tails of" the return in popularity of JRR Tolkien's work that were being rediscovered at the time. A couple of songs here were based on characters from one of his books. I was reading Alistair MacLean books at the time and learning how to be a top notch British agent during the cold war or WW2 or whatever the time period to be bothered that stuff, but I did like the music. |

Although the above post was of a complete album with two songs being suites, that wasn't Camel's typical style. They had great fantastic production values. That's what I mostly think of. They knew what the hell they were doing in the regard. All the sounds you here were created non-digitally, processed by "craftsmen."
These next five songs I kind of sort of just grabbed real quick as they are typical of Camel's stylings in the way they created their music. 1 You Make Me Smile 2 The Sleeper 3 Rainbow's End 4 One of These Days I'll Get an Early Night 5 Skylines  You Make Me Smile  The Sleeper  Rainbow's End  One Of These Days I'll Get An Early Night |
