TITANIC-EAGLE ROCK-

Released in 1973 this is the third release from the Norwegian outfit Titanic. Maybe seen as their best album release, this record does have its ups and downs.

British vocalist Roy Robinson is the jam in the roll here and there´s no pretending that the guitarist Janny Loseth upsets things. This is a very well played album on the guitar. The rest of the band lives an anonymous Life on this recording.

Standout track would be “One night in eagle rock”, a very nice and vibrating tune that promise a bit more than the rest of the album. This is a wellbuilt album in the production as the real S/S Titanic, but as in real life, they forgot to put in the stuff such as descent material on the album. This is in that sense a sinking ship from the beginning to the end. To Bad, it could have been a big succes.

And whatabout the drummer, John Lorck?? Well it´s a descent work throughout the album but nothing to show for, except maybe, your mother. Great sound on the production doesn´t help the feeling of a studio musician just doing his job. (Read “get me my cash”)…There are some nice tryouts to lift the album but the whole thing doesn´t fall through. A bit cheesy..

The benefits of this record is the Scandinavian sound/song Writing style. A bit of prog seasoned in the tunes and the feeling of real nice Comfort sofa style.

If you´re going apeshit for 70´s hard/prog rock Music don´t buy this record , you will be disappointed. But it´s a true gem if your exploring the roots to later bands like”Gasoline “or maybe even “Råg i Ryggen”.
