Golf's verdict: Relatively low key in comparison to Transformer and with less obvious hooks, this nonetheless rewards repeat listening.

Maire's verdict: A really good album but prefer Transformer.

Golf's verdict: Captures one of rocks greatest live acts at their pinnacle with Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson's dual and duelling lead guitars to the fore. Could probably be condensed down to a single album though.

Maire's verdict: A bit too same-y and felt very long.
