This is an album that will immediately fit into Steeleye Span's distinguished cannon. To call it “classic” Steeleye Span may be somewhat lazy, but that is what it is. Their calling cards are still there -- the fascinating interpretations of traditional tales, the choral harmonies, the blend of powerful rock with evocative, lyrical instrumentation -- all presented with a mixture of experience and inspiration. As has ever been the case, this album sees the band combining the past, present and future in one timeless whole.
