Album 930
Jerusalem - Jerusalem
Year: 1972
Produced by Ian Gillian who saw a great deal of potential in Jerusalem, they were only able to release this one raw and heavy entry. This is a very interesting, and often frustrating listen and it has taken me awhile to get to grips with why I keep returning to it every now and then. First impressions could leave you thinking they basically play a variation of the same song nine times, and to an extent they do. This album carries a story of lost potential, but at the same time it's a fun listen that definitely deserves at least a few spins. The guitar definitely carries the album hard and for me that's not a negative, you can definitely see they wear their influences on their sleeves.
