I agree with you that the second half of Power and the Glory is more complex and more like their older stuff, as opposed to the first half which is a bit stripped down. Cogs in Cogs especially sounds like it could have been on Octopus.

I like that there's more guitar and keyboards, and for once, no blues rock jams. I always felt that those didn't quite fit in with their sound.

Boobs' picks: Proclamation, So Sincere, Playing the Game, Cogs in Cogs, No God's a Man.

Free Hand certainly shows them taking a more straightforward rock direction. But it's still a quality record.

Boobs' picks: Just the Same, Free Hand, Talybont, Mobile.
