"This album is not up to the standards of "The Roaring Silence," "Messin,", "Nightingales & Bombers," and the self-titled album, all of which I rate 4-5 stars. The sound quality is muddy, too."

Early Earth Band Classic

"I was first introduced to Manfred Mann's Earth Band when listening to an FM radio station that played a feature album every night. It was 1973 and the album "Solar Fire" captivated me. After discovering the magic of "Solar Fire," all previous Earth Band albums were soon added to my collection. To this day, "Glorified Magnified" remains one of my favorites. The album has a less polished sound as compared with later releases, but this was a band breaking new ground in 1972. Their unique sound found itself on this album and led to at least 5 later releases that were each of high quality. This may not be an ideal starting point for a new Earth Band fan, but if you grow to love their wonderful brand of progressive rock ("Solar Fire" or "Nightengales and Bombers" would be good albums on which to begin your Earth Band listening), you will want to add this album to your collection."
