ROGER LEONARD, MARTIN ACE, MICHAEL JONES, TERRY WILLIAMS, CLIVE JOHN

Man were one of the most promising rock bands to come out of Wales in the early '70s. 

Along with Brinsley Schwarz, they helped establish the core of the pub rock sound, 

but they played louder and also had a progressive component to their work that separated them 

from many of their rivals. The group originated as a Four Seasons-cum-Beach Boys 

vocal outfit, based in Swansea, Wales, called the Bystanders, who began experimenting 

with a tougher, more progressive sound on-stage. 

They were encouraged to pursue this direction, and Man were formed

 In addition to their exceptional improvisational skills, Man would display a more 

aggressive sound. The opening track, "Romain," instantly gels into driving blues 

behind Leonard's woozy steel guitar interjections. "Country Girl" is reminiscent 

of the New Riders of the Purple Sage, complete with a distinct West Coast 

county-rock lilt. Both of the extended pieces, "Would the Christians Wait Five Minutes?...

The Lions Are Having a Draw" and "Alchemist" are pastiches of well-developed

 instrumentals, although at times they come off as somewhat dated. 

There is plenty of inspired interaction, however, especially on the latter song 

as they unleash some definitive heavy metal licks that could easily be mistaken 

for seminal Black Sabbath. "Daughter of the Fireplace" is another highlight 

as a compact and attitude-heavy rocker...(AllMusic)
