After failing to answer Capitol
Records prayers for another Grand Funk Railroad with its relatively entertaining
but commercially bankrupt first and second albums, the power trio known as Bang
was summarily given up for dead weight and apparently written out of its label's
marketing and budgeting plans, to boot. Actually, you can also throw the A&R
department onto that list, since the band's third and final album, 1973's simply
named Music, boasted a pretty radical reinvention of the band's sound. Gone were
the proto-metal hallmarks of yore, replaced by what can only be deemed as a
belated discovery ofthe Beatles (not impossible, given Bang's youth), and you
need not wait long -- track two, in fact, named "Glad You're Home" -- to hear
this confirmed directly from the band's lips! "Eleanor Rigby" later haunts the
brazenly derivative "Pearl and Her Ladies" but it may just be the Fab Four's
main disciples, Badfinger, who carry the greatest influence upon this album (see
"Don't Need Nobody," "Must Be Love," etc.), followed closely by the Flamin'
Groovies on crunchier guitar numbers like "Windfair" and "Exactly Who I Am." In
any case, the bottom line is that Bang's music was clearly headed somewhere new
with this LP, and while it obviously lacked originality and even the proper
attention to detail at times (the poorly realized "Page of My Life" simply
tapers off, seemingly unfinished), overall, Music was anything but embarrassing.
Nevertheless, it could not forestall Capitol from dropping Bang from its roster
after thoroughly failing to support the album upon release -- that was a fait
accompli -- and precipitating the band's breakup as a result, their will to
fight another day finally broken by forces beyond their control.
