Nice review Mrd00d! I think it's awesome that you went track-by-track.

A few things I'd like to add though-

1. Ambrosia are the only West Coast pop/progressive rock band that has ever formed to my knowledge in the context of progressive rock history. Even if I hated their stuff, I'd give them props for having a rather original sound.

2. David Pack is their main lead vocalist, not North or Puerta. His talent is such that he'd have one hell of a successful solo career in the 80's and beyond.

3. 'Nice, Nice Very Nice' was actually written around the lyrics to a made-up song that appeared Kurt Vonnegut's famous novel "Cat's Cradle". I guess you could sense the literary quality behind the song while you were listening to it!
