In a review in Rolling Stone in 1974, Ken Barnes wrote:
Strawbs moved from folkier days to a lush, stately and mellotron-dominated sound, with similarities to Yes, King Crimson and the Moody Blues. They wrote more compelling songs than the former two, and possessed more lyrical/musical substance than the latter.
Prognostic is the album that defines Strawbs once and for all as a prog rock force to be reckoned with.The music is powerful, yet melodic. The lyrics are biting, yet sensitive.

The album consists of four charted singles. "The Best of Times", written by Dennis DeYoung, went to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Too Much Time on My Hands", written by Tommy Shaw, went to #9 on the Billboard Hot 100, Shaw's only top 10 hit for Styx. "Nothing Ever Goes as Planned", written by DeYoung, went to #54 on the US Pop Chart. "Rockin' the Paradise" — written by DeYoung, Shaw and James Young — went to #8 on the Top Rock Track Chart.

Любителям тевтонско-немецкого Heavy/Power сегодня предлагаю ознакомиться с альбомом группы Stormhunter - An Eye For An I. Хорошо звучащие гитары, галопирующий ритм и вокал, местами напоминающие старый добрый Running Wild.
