This review is from: Victims of Circumstance (Audio CD)

I would recommend this only to "hard-core" fans of the 74-82 period, when the band was always so near to reach a mainstream wider audience. I still can`t believe how they didn`t make it ! I remember this album(from 84) being an obvious effort to change their sound and attitude slightly towards a more obvious "commercial" appeal. It looks as if it was already too late, with more - yes - nice production hooks, but less songwriting inspiration. In any case, it is interesting and enjoyable enough for curious BJH lovers as this is clearly a different album from their catalog.
For those of you who dont`t know the band yet too much, start in 74 with "Everyone is Everybody Else" or in 75 with "Time Honoured Ghosts" and you will agree with me that this is not just another minor band of the golden pop/rock era ...
