The album included (with one exception) only covers more or less well-known songs from the region hard and prog-rock - all done with great dynamics and fire. Please believe me that some recordings fared better than the originals (eg. Two compositions Grand Funk or Elegy - Colosseum) which version is better - please judge yourself! . The original vinyl (released by Parlophone) costs close to 1,500 euros.<br /> <br />The band SUCK is a very unusual phenomenon, South African rock scene. He became famous with a very energetic concerts, during which members of the band provoked on the right and left. In the pictures from that period can be seen that the outline of the face adorned the scene of Hitler, and the puppet with the inscription 'War Whore', which explained the moral reasons I will not. Well, and besides SUCK had to be called a little differently. The first letter of a word that was initially F .. ie(FUCK)<br /><br />However, the fate of a little scoffed with SUCK. The team got a chance to record an album (soon SUCK ceased to exist - the musicians could not stand the issues that pose the then-government), but with different reasons, they were able to record only one song of his own authorship - not even lasting three minutes The Whip. The rest of the album are cover songs.<br /><br />Immediately raises questions:<br />a) where in 1970 the youth of South Africa have access to the recordings of Black Sabbath, Free, Grand Funk Railroad, King Crimson and other great this period?<br />b) how to assess the album, which is based on the same covers, and what criterion to accept?<br /><br />It is because so many covers a lot of people on this album waving hand, committing a big mistake in my opinion. Of course it would have been more valuable album entirely subjective, but, as in the case of the debut Abstract Truth - if the covers are well interpreted, in his own style, I think there is no problem.<br /><br />First of all,this album draws attention to the vast energy that radiates from the music. It might not be the highest executive level, but it is what enthusiasm! Gentlemen flailing hard and loud, with no respect for the original versions of the songs - you can hear it very clearly in the 21st Century Schizoid Man from the repertoire of King Crimson, and the Elegy from the repertoire of the Colosseum .. Errors in the text sung schizophrenic, plus music, which in both cases more Black Sabbath reminds than art rock and jazzy British group.<br />Anyway, from the repertoire Iommi band also found something. As an added bonus their SUCK version of War Pigs, which was not previously on the album. The network can meet opinion, supposedly it was performance was better than Sabbath. I think it can only be for those who fails to hit Ozzy. <br /><br />The only moment of peace is the beginning of Season Of The Witch, played very traditional, with a flute. SUCK feels best in simple, strictly rock numbers - such as Aimless Lady, Sin's A Good Man's Brother from the repertoire of Grand Funk Railroad, or Purple Into The Fire, which is probably the best cover of all gathered at the Time To Suck.<br />And what is the story with The Whip - the only piece SUCK copyright as we know it? Now you can hear it significant influence of Deep Purple, Grand Funk Railroad, Black Sabbath - the heaviest of the period as well as local music heroes - Freedom's Children. Very sturdy, hard rock number with psychedelic influences (are composed of mainly ubiquitous reverb is added). Although 'Time To Suck' not everyone will appeal, I would definitely recommend it to fans of rock from South Africa, indeed the fans 'exotic' rock in general. Archival value is definitely on 5+ ...and of course, collectors, where the place of purchase hurry this album. It is available few nice years, and it is not known how many copies lying in warehouses Fresh Music... <br />Marios Thx for sharing! ;)adamus67https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035959023698485029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380084716739328494.post-4130872890341772222014-12-02T17:12:46.755+02:002014-12-02T17:12:46.755+02:00These are all covers, and the covers are worse tha...These are all covers, and the covers are worse than the originals.
