Album: Siren (1975)(SHM-CD Remaster 2013)
Genre: Prog Rock (Crossover/Art Rock/Glam/Pop/Rock) / UK
The last album of Roxy Music's first incarnation (before a temporary split, a few mediocre comeback albums, and the swansong of Avalon) feels like it's a concept album in disguise; Bryan Ferry begins the album declaring that "Love is the Drug" for him, but by the end he's realised that it was "Just Another High". Although the band's art rock stylings begin to fray at the edges at some points, at other stages they're as strong as ever - Love Is the Drug is a great, muscular album over which manages to hide some fascinating twists and textures within an illusion of apparent simplicity, in particular - and if they'd never reunited at this point this would have been as good a last gasp as any. Review by "Warthur" (Prog Archives).
RATING: 8.25 / 10
