A Song for Me 1970 Album

Family

This is the most "Family" identifiable album in that the group is at its heaviest impact sonically, in all phases. They really push limits on the bookend tracks ("Drowned In Wine", the title track), both of which emphasize Roger Chapman's extreme vocal growls and howls - which had to be the template for future screamers like Brian Johnson and Udo from Accept. As with the previous effort, the material in between is mixed, but definitely more assured this time around, thanks to the addition of "Poli" Palmer, who would stick with the group through Bandstand. Just a solid, unflinching effort.
