 PROCOL HARUM - Broken Barricades [German Bonus Tracks] | Buy cheap Music with low price on CD
"Broken Barricades" also marked the end of an era for Procol Harum, as founding guitarist Robin Trower made his exit from the band after this album was completed (though he briefly returned for Harum's 1991 comeback album, "The Prodigal Stranger").
But he left on a very high note with "Broken Barricades," as he contributes powerful guitar-playing throughout, co-wrote three songs with lyricist Reid, and laid down a pair of lead vocals as well (he has a rougher-sounding voice than Brooker, but it fits "Song For A Dreamer" and "Poor Mohammed" just fine).
Broken Barricades marks the end of their second period and also the end of an era with the subsequent departure of guitarist Robin Trower who was instrumental in giving the second period its harder sound.

Originally released by A&M Records in 1971, Broken Barricades has the straightforward rock of the Home LP, but the classical and blues influences are quite prominent on here too.
Broken Barricades was a great album that showcased the band at its best, whether it was Gary's bluesy piano and singing, B.J.'s powerful drumming, or Robin's blistering guitar playing.
Chris did a fine job supporting the band with his melodic bass playing and occasional organ fills (the organ was largely absent on the record though except two tracks).

 Broken Arrow by Neil Young CD
BROKEN ARROW was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.
BROKEN ARROW is the third straight album on which Neil Young has splattered loud electric-guitar notes all over his folk-rock melancholy.
The first three songs on BROKEN ARROW are nearly a half-hour long between them, and they reach that length through long, scratchy, meandering solos that evoke both jazz and punk-rock (think Sonic Youth) in their simultaneous bid to be transcendent and noisy.

Barricades were broken through and the police responded with force.
The police were straining to hold the barricades in place on occasion, but it didn't look to me (from 15 feet away) like anyone was rushing them, more like the mild pressure of a crowd that was trying to get as close as possible to the action.
In several hours, the only physical confrontation I saw was was a TV guy force a photographer off a satellite truck by prying his hands off where he had climbed up.

But on Home the Brooker-Fisher-Trower axis of power seemed to have met its end, with Gary Brooker, a fine singer and songwriter, now seeming to be the definite leader of the group and the dominant member on record as well.
Broken Barricades, the fifth Procol Harum album: the last three songs on side one create a typically good PH groove, but the rest of the album is, at this point in the group's career, a disaster.
Broken Barricades is one of the most enigmatic, puzzling albums to come down the track in a long time, simply because of the high quality of the albums preceding it.

The Strat used on BROKEN BARRICADES had a rosewood neck, and it was only after changing to maple necked guitars that he noticed the difference in sound.
Maple necks, he explains, give a much "cleaner" sound then the rosewood models, although the former are much more difficult to play in that the fretting hand tends to slip over the surface because of its smooth texture.

Broken Barricades grabbed me from the first, regardless, because of that power and authority that Procol Harum could conjure up.
Other than Salty Dog and the live Edmonton album*--both of which I played the grooves flat on--there wasn't another PH album that came close to digging its hooks in me like this one.

"Broken Barricades" war das letzte Album mit Gitarrist Robin Trower, der bei Procol Harum zu wenig Gelgenheit sah, seinen stark Blues-orientierten Stil einzubringen, und daraufhin seine eigene Band gründete.
Auf "Broken Barricades" zieht er aber noch mal richtig vom Leder, das Album geht viel stärker in Richtung gitarrenbetonter Blues-Rock als seine Vorgänger.
Insgesamt ist "Broken Barricades" eher Art-Blues als Art-Rock ;-).

 PROCOL HARUM Broken Barricades reviews and MP3
Here, apparently Robin Trower took the reins, but not as he wished, because he will leave after this one to form a supergroup that will never see the end of the day, then will form his own band (the first six albums are all excellent - but very different than on Home and this one).
While Trower is undeniably the protagonist on this one, it would also be fair to state a special mention for Wilson’s labour (one more time), which provides an Eastern-like exotic fire with his syncopated ritualistic drumming.
I enjoy this album a bit more than “Home”, since I find that the musical inspiration is stronger and the interplaying is more solid – "Broken Barricades" serves as an adequate Trower testament.

The riffs were often played in colorful counterpoint to the rest of the music.
Wilson’s drum parts are magnificent displays of the syncopated flourish; no matter how rambunctious the more-complex Procol Harum structures became, B.J. never grew repetitive, yet never broke the flow (his work on Broken Barricades is wonderful).
He called Broken Barricades "pompous, muddy, indecipherable" (most of the lyrics are on the album cover).

1971s "Broken Barricades" is Procol Harums fifth album, with pianist/vocalist Gary Brooker and company putting aside the Hammond organ and going even more in a hard rocking direction than on their previous album, "Home" (though "Barricades" still has a pair of softer numbers).

The singles are understandable (two of them are 'Whiter Shade of Pale' and 'A Salty Dog', after all) but the remainder of Disc 3 SHOULD have included the 5th album 'Broken Barricades', thus presenting the complete Brooker/Trower era.
One star off for this blown opportunity as well as the nondescript packaging (this has to be the least lavish 30th anniversary box set in memory).
I agree with another reviewer that it would have been nice to drop some of the "alternate takes" in favor of squeezing in their excellent fifth album, "Broken Barricades"; maybe licensing was an issue.
