Signed by Capitol Records on a wave of goodwill toward heavy rock
following the gang buster success story that was Grand Funk Railroad, the
members of Bang were hastily ushered into the nearest studio while the ink on
their contract was still drying and essentially asked to "show us what you got"
by their new backers. What they had, as exemplified by memorable opening gambit,
"Lions, Christians," was a hard rock style that tempered the sheer bombastic
doom and gloom of Black Sabbath with a less oppressive, blues-reliant sound
redolent of most every other proto-metal band out there at the time (think Toe
Fat, May Blitz, Dust, etc.), to be quite honest, and therefore lacking in the
uncontrolled danger of a Blue Cheer or Sir Lord Baltimore. In fact, such
outright savagery was only momentarily threatened here on a few subsequent
tracks, including the biting staccatos of ""Come with Me" and Neanderthal plod
of "Future Shock," but by the arrival of lead single "Questions" and its
undeniably infectious sibling "Redman," some measure of civility had largely
been restored. And, sprinkled amidst these angrier moments lay a few curious
stylistic diversions like the gentle Arthurian fingerpicking of "Last Will and
Testament" and the hippie-dippy sentiments of "Our Home," each of which
respectively veered into art rock and the sort of post-flower power whimsy that
Altamont should have categorically nailed to a tree a few years earlier (and
which had dominated Bang's ambitious but flawed first effort, Death of a
Country, which was shelved upon delivery). Having thus heard Bang's best shot
(if you catch our meaning) and then watched "Questions" flounder on the charts,
the bean-counting suits at Capitol Records apparently and perhaps prematurely
deemed their new charges to be anything but the perfect marriage of Sabbath and
Grand Funk they were hoping for. The naïve musicians in Bang were barely given
another chance to build upon this solid debut's abundant promise, and, as would
be shown by pair of flawed and confused follow-up albums, their career was to be
thrown into a tailspin before hardly getting off the ground.
