Ball Power
The overall excellence of 'Ball Power' makes for quality listening all the way through. The songs range from the crunching, melodic hard rock of 'Flash' and 'Hey! What's Your Name' to the simple, raw rock'n'roll of 'Mama Don't Get Me Wrong' and 'Won't You Make Up Your Mind' (a proto-typical punk ball-tearer at a breathtakingly brief one minute and 32 seconds) and a raucous cover of the Jerry Lee Lewis standard 'Whole Lotta Shakin''. In between there are the sleazy blues of 'Something New' and 'B.P.R.' plus progressive, guitar-heavy monsters like 'Human Being' and 'That's What Mama Said'.
