I listened to Pilgrimage again a few hours ago. My original opinion (and 3/5 rating) still stands.
Vas Dis - pretty bad 2/5
The Pilgrim - good one I really enjoy 4/5
Jail Bait - I hate this boogie stuff 2/5
Alone - pretty good short instrumental but seems a bit insignificant, no real faults though 3/5
Lullaby - good smooth instrumental 4/5
Valediction - another very good track with great guitar playing and vocals 4/5
Where Were You Tomorrow - long blues rock/boogie jam I don't enjoy 2/5
So yes there are some good songs, but 3 out of the 7 songs I don't like at all, adding up to a mediocre album. The songs I like the most are ones with smooth and beautiful guitar work akin to those on Argus. That's just my preference when it comes to Wishbone Ash, which I suppose is the opposite of what attracts you to the band, Certif1ed.
