FALLEN ANGEL (1978)

Definitly weaker then Innocent Victim, but still good. Ken Henslkey was losing interest quickly and it shows. Still, Gerry Bron, then their manager as well as producer, decided to pick up his songs instead of the others, which infuriated Lawton (and it was the main reason for his leaving soon after the release of this LP). Certainly he was right, for his songs, along with the one's by Box, Bolder and Kerslake were far more inspired and interesting then Hensley´s here.
Personally I like this album very much. The band could still make tight arrangements and their vocal harmonies were great. And songs like I´m Alive and Woman Of The Night are great rockers. And none of the others is really crap, although quality varies a lot here. One could only wonder how far this band could have gone if they stayed together a little longer and worked their differences. Anyway, I think Fallen Angel is a good album, but not essential, that's for sure. It´s a personal opinion only. I think it is far better than Firefly, for exemple. And beter than many follow ups.
