    4 out of 5 stars A Wishbone ash classic.......2006-07-20

    I cant understand the reason for the negative reviews this album is getting.I own this album and can confidently rate this as one of their very best after ARGUS and their brilliant debut album.this album contains such fine tracks as SO MANY THINGS TO SAY,BALLAD OF THE BEACON,SORREL and the amazing EVERYBODY NEEDS A FRIEND.Every classic rock fan should own all these three albums.Very highly recommended.

    4 out of 5 stars Good album, but must not be your first W.Ash album.......2006-05-26

    The last and acceptable album from the Mark 1 line-up. As it always happens with most big albums follow-ups rarely live up to the formers' glory. With Argus becoming their biggest seller "Wishbone Four" was a difficult follow-up. Ted Turner would leave after this album only to return for the all instrumental Nouveau Calls album. Laurie Wisefield would replace Ted to continue the twin-lead legacy of WA and to usher a different but another nice era for the band. Martin's voice shows sings of wear and aging although the melody and the singing spirit is very much there. There are gems from the album, "Everybody needs a friend", `Ballad of the Beacon", "Sorrel" and "Sing out the Song". Good music on "So Many things to say" and "Rock and Roll Widow" but the familiar twin-lead guitar attack and harmony is diminished. Besides, most of the songs are slow and long and can wear you down. Album cover is a disappointment. Certainly not an attractive cover for the album with the band looking like a bunch of puny kids.

    Wishbone Four, a must for the ardent fan. Wouldn't recommend for the first timer.

    4 out of 5 stars Four.......2006-05-01

    Argus was a hard record to follow.. My favorites on this one are Ballad of the beacon, and Sorrel. and a couple of others.. Being a fan I hate to knock them but only a few good ones here, so pick them up on the "Time Was" CD...I did also find the sound quality kind of tinny (live sounding)on a few cuts, but not as out right bad as one previous review found it.. No doubt not a outstanding album/CD... Chris

    2 out of 5 stars A letdown.......2004-11-19

    This is an OK 70s album but it followed the magnificent Argus so it had a lot to live up to. Unfortunately the Ash didn't even try following it up. I like Sorrel, it has an Argus vibe about it, Beacon is nice and sounds good live, but the rest is just OK.

    2 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2002-11-12

    Like many people, I was introduced to WA by the incredible "Argus" album, so I was eager to see how they would follow it up. Unfortunately, "Wishbone 4" only disappoints in comparison. In addition to the band's incredible musicianship, the strongest point of "Argus" was the songwriting; unfortunately, the material here just isn't up to par, in fact, most of the album is pretty pedestrian generic 70's guitar boogie. While "Ballad of the Beacon" and "Everybody Needs a Friend" are first-rate, most of the songs here are throw-aways: "Doctor" and "No Easy Road" sound like Humble Pie rejects, "Sorrel" tries to evoke an "Argus"-style vibe in its imagery but fails due to an uninspired melody and indifferent performance, and "So Many Things to Say" (the worst offender) sounds like it was recorded on a cheap cassette deck in someone's garage. If you really love "Argus", this might still be worth a purchase for "Ballad..." and "Everybody...", but otherwise it's pretty slim pickings.

        4 out of 5 stars Wishbone Ash's heaviest?.......2001-03-05

        I own just three Wishbone Albums -- ARGUS, FOUR and THERE'S THE RUB -- and, weird though this may be to say so, the last of those three has always been my favourite. Currently, buying this box set is the only way to obtain THERE's THE RUB. But WISHBONE FOUR is also worth having.

        Not that it is saying much at all, but THERE'S THE RUB is much the best recorded of all the Wishbone albums I own. For this record, Wishbone travelled to the US to get Bill Szymzyck )f Eagles and Joe Walsh fame) to produce. The band also had a new guitarist after Ted Turner had left and been replaced by Laurie Wisefield.

        The overall result is a much heavier sound -- far closer to the duelling guitars of Lynyrd Skynrd than before. In a way the sound is also close to the riffing of the classic SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH, although the vocals and lyrical subject matter quickly tell you this is not Black Sabbath. 'F.U.B.B' is my favourite Wishbone instrumental -- it stands for 'F@#*ed Up and Bloody Bored', by the way.

        Overall, this pair of albums is a must-have. I'm sure they would sell more of both if they were available separately, but that's record company logic for you.
