4.0 out of 5 stars A fine album-- but nobody knew it., September 16, 2003

Coming so late in their career, this album was overlooked by almost everyone, fans and non-fans alike. That's too bad, because it's one of their best. Most people agree that the shining moment for this band was their first album, and they may be right. But although this album sounded entirely different, it was another definite high point, and it's sad that almost nobody heard it. "The Truth" is one of my all-time favorite QMS songs, right up there with "Fresh Air" (the closest they ever came to having a "hit" song), from the "Just For Love" album. "Song For Frisco" is another favorite. And "Fire Brothers" and "Don't Cry My Lady Love" are downright pretty. Great stuff. If you're already a fan and never bought this album, I would highly recommend it. If you're not a fan and are just curious about this band, this really wouldn't be a bad place to start. But while you're at it, pick up the first album, too.

4.0 out of 5 stars 70'ties, melancholy voice and Summer of Love-guitars, June 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Quicksilver (Audio CD)

Not all Quicksilver albums were great. Or even good. But this one is simply an unspotted diamond. Brings you straight back to the Summer of Love, melancholy voice, soaring guitars and some great songs. Listen to Hope or I Found Love. Or my all time favorite Don't Cry My Lady Love. Just pianos and voices. The album has the same sorryfull tone as Layla or Year of The Cat. And makes you think of the girl you meet 20 years ago - and you still wonder why she left. If you're into the West Coast music from the 70'ties you simply gotta give this album a try. But get the right album - most of the others are best forgotten.

4.0 out of 5 stars An overlooked semi-gem!, May 20, 2000

This album was the sixth by Quicksilver (Messenger Service). On first listen, it sounded like a non-event. The second side (from "Fire Brothers" to "The Truth") is, however, absolutely wonderful! These four songs just flow. I hardly ever played the first side. Obviously, I don't have the CD so I can't vouch for the sound - as it seems to have been reissued in 1994 it should be good, though. The best QMS album for my money is the first. I never got as excited as others over "Happy Trails" (although the sleeve is fabulous!) and would have to say this is my second favourite. They were almost a different band by this stage (1971), of course, so don't expect instrumental fireworks. Recommended.
