Spear Of Destiny - Liberator (Epic)

Beefy guitar growls, rabble rousing sax, drum thumping and angry snarls - it's a regular noise orgy. Quite what Kirk Brandon is going on about, goodness only knows, but he sounds very cross, like a kitten with a whip. Almost great. (Tom Hibbert, Smash Hits, April 12, 1984)

 The Liberator was an aircraft with a massive wingspan. This is also true of Kirk Brandon's head - though for once his bragging seems justified. "Liberator" is big, bold, cocky rock with Brandon snarling and sneering like Joe Strummer on "Janie Jones". A rich surprise. (Martin Townsend, No 1, March 31, 1984)
