There's not much happening here. By the time Positive Vibrations was released, Ten Years After had run out of gas. Leader Alvin Lee had already released two solo albums, "On the Road to Freedom" and "In Flight," and the band was simply going through the motions on this album. The band broke up following its release. (Allmusic)
Going Back To Brimingham, You're Driving Me Crazy, Look Me Straight Into The Eyes, I Wanted To Boogie, LOOK Look Into My Life, and It's Getting Harder are all stand outs in the great tradition of earlier TYA releases. But the band had set the bar so high by the time of this set that it was close to impossible
to reach on a consistent basis. The remaining four songs are not quite up to the standards these guys had set for themselves, which is not to say they are bad songs. If they had been recorded by any other band of the time, they may very well have been considered album highlights.
Yes, the band was getting tired by '74 (and tired of eachother). Even so, they come through hard enough on this release for it to be considered a rock classic and an essential entry into any serious rock collection.
Positive Vibrations? The title almost invokes visions of a softer, gentler TYA, but make no mistake, this cd rocks. (Amazon)
