#1946 Bachman Turner Overdrive - Bachman Turner Overdrive

The core sound's good enough: those forward-leaning drums, that Canadian-Skynyrd guitarwork. But man, for a band all about roads and gears and trucking this band is in no damn rush to get anywhere - every song goes on way longer than it should. I must have muttered "is this song still going?" 3 different times. Which is weird, because they're only 4-5 minutes long, but that feels long when the pace is so slow and there's only a GBV song's worth of ideas powering the whole thing. Plus, god! There's never any climax or anything - the song just churns and churns and stops.

Maybe it's all about that endless road hypnosis 2.5/5
