The End Of The Game was the debut solo album from Fleetwood Mac founder Peter Green after he quit the group. It consists of free-form instrumental tracks quite different from his previous blues based sound.
“I've heard a lot of Peter Green, but never anything quite like this. Free-form jazz/rock, hard psych blues-rock with some of the most wicked guitar work you'll ever hear. In fact, all of the musicians put on amazing performances, even though Green's blistering guitar is the stand-out.”
“This is a bit tough to listen to. It’s a late night jam session without much structure or direction. It is heavy but generally not dissonant or challenging. I wouldn't call this jazz-oriented though it has the open-ended feel of some modal jazz fusion jamming. If you like free-form instrumental music on electric guitar, check it out.”
“Peter's state of mind as these jams were glued together suggests he may not even have written these six pieces, more shaped their wild, freaky, mind boggling aural journey so to speak.”
“The End Of The Game is a psych rock album full of great material with some experimental elements and bluesy sound. The whole album was just a long studio jamming cut to pieces. It still works great.”
“I was expecting it to be an album of blues guitar similar to his work with The Bluesbreakers or Fleetwood Mac. It's actually nothing like that at all, but instead, is an album full of jamming with a free form experimental feel to it. For what it is it's very good, but I like music that's a little more structured. Still, some nice moments are to be found here.”
“On this solo album, Green stretches out across a collection of flowing, jazzy instrumentals with some great interplay between the bass, drums and piano during the six tracks. The sense of mood, texture and atmosphere on this album is wonderful but, the compositions are a little too free form for me and sound occasionally chaotic.”
“An excellent experimental, free form jazz album from Peter Green. Very similar to early John McLaughlin work, but much better. Highly recommended, but be aware, it is much different from his blues influenced work.”
