(8/69 contd.)
Love -- Four Sail: Ah dear. We can all hope that this is a fluke, but if this is the best songwriting that Arthur Lee can produce post-Forever Changes, even considering the brand new backing band he's been supplied with, a one-hit wonder this contingent shall forever be. C+
Harry Nilsson -- Harry: Three albums in and we still haven't upgraded past the "cheesy kitsch" stage of this dude's artistic evolution. One hopes he'll be able to move past that soon, because his career won't be lasting much longer if he doesn't. C+
CAN -- Monster Movie: One of the most intoxicating atmospheres of any rock record released this year, indebted to blues to some extent but also advancing this harder-edged sound into a more modern-sounding area. Negative brownie points for some terrible vocals, though. B
