Re: Nazareth - Love Leads To Madness

Well, in all honesty this song and 2XS, the album it’s from, aren’t indicative of Nazareth as a whole.
My personal starting place would be the ‘Hair Of The Dog’ and then ‘Rampant’ albums. These are much more blues based 70’s hard rock. HotD is, in my opinion, their best and most consistent album.
Their live album “It’s ‘Naz” is worth a listen too. 2XS is a good album in itself, but their sound had changed a lot by the early 80’s.
Their cover of This Flight Tonight is fantastic, too. Heart’s Grown Cold and Broken Down Angel are also stellar songs from earlier in their career.
Plenty of people love Razamanaz, Expect No Mercy and No Mean City but, again in my opinion, they can be patchy album wise.
Be warned though, they do sound dated by today’s standards. HotD being a notable exception. Happy hunting.
