Customer Reviews Overrated Not necessarily a bad album, by any means, but lackluster. I just had trouble really getting into this album-it pales in comparison to "Cricklewood Green" and "A Space In Time" IMHO. Watt is is all about? Ten Years After Watt is much better and concise than the previous album from the same year "Cricklewood Green". This is ten years after in its pick. Alvin Lee is in great shape, less fuzzy in his guitar solos, and i must notice the lyrics. Alvin was a little melhancolic at that time, there was always some poetry accent on the lyrics, like "She lies in the morning" and "Think about the times" simple and pretty, and also two basic rock and roll tracks are quite enough to speak for the whole album: "i'm coming on" e "I say Yeah". Although "A space in time" and "Rnr music to the world" are good albuns, there's nothing compared to "Watt", in terms of ten Years After. A very pleasant blast from the past From vinyl to digital some sonics may, or may not, have been compromised: hard to say really. I enjoyed this album in the early seventies, and I enjoyed it again; it's like running into a long-lost friend. The current compilation cd just isn't the same as those original collections: the same tunes in the same order as when we first heard them. But now we don't have to turn the LP over. Besides, no compilation includes Band with No Name, stinging electric theme music to a Sergio Leone western of the mind. .
