Just Like a Rose
Heavy rock doesn’t get any simpler than this, and my liking
for the measured riffs on this one and only album is similarly straightforward.
Those riffs lift from Black Sabbath, on opener Mistreated, and then there’s even more direct plagiarism of Jethro
Tull on third Time. The singing
reminds me of Roy Gallagher, especially the Taste period, with fourth The Mask a definite Taste pilfer in most
other respects too [though there isn’t the virtuoso guitar] and these and more blatant
reference points explain how a German band could sound so English. As Gertrude
would say, a template is a template is a template. But it does lack a thorn’s
thrust or two.
