That's What's Real/Love Story/Lay It On Me/Woman For Sale/I'm Glad/Where Is My Answer/Jailhouse Rock-All Shook Up/The First Time
Eponymous second album release from the Glasgow progressive rock band Tear Gas. Members would later team up with Alex Harvey to form the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.
“Tear Gas is a real guitar tour de force - it seems there is more guitar sound than one's ears can cope with. The musicianship is simply superior, with songs that are full of emotions, splendid guitar solos and bridges and elaborate harmonies. Bass lines are very impressive as well so the album is highly enjoyable.”
“Powerful hard rock with great guitar, bass, drums, and vocals. They’ve got it all. There were no more releases but we have still got this spectacular hard LP.”
“Not consistent enough to be a classic, but super heavy and super tight. Vocals are the weakest factor. Though not terrible, but a better talent might have taken them to another level. This guitar player is special, well above the norm and the rest of the band are also well above average.”
“This album's originality is greatly underestimated. Real heavy metal was not that common when it was released. In fact, this was the first period in history that the term heavy metal came into use as a musical genre. And even with all the other metal albums around, this one still has its own distinct sound. Obviously they were influenced by contemporary metal bands, but you can't point to any particular guitar tone or riff and say that they stole it from this band or that band. In that sense, this is a completely original album.”
“A great and underrated hard and proto-heavy album. Brilliant guitar, bass and drum work, good compositions and a really hard combo.”
“Incredibly heavy and well produced rock album full of powerful drums, melodic riffs and great vocals.”
