Flash - In The Can

Review by Albert Monare

Flash's 1972 album In The Can is a classic of the progressive rock genre, showcasing the band's virtuosic musicianship and imaginative songwriting. From the opening track "The Boys in the Band" to the epic closer "Dreams of Heaven," the album is a thrilling journey through complex rhythms, soaring melodies, and mind-bending instrumental passages.

Featuring the talents of guitarist Peter Banks, bassist Ray Bennett, drummer Mike Hough, and keyboardist Tony Kaye (who would later join Yes), Flash creates a sound that is both intricate and accessible, blending elements of jazz, classical, and folk music with their own unique style. Highlights include the haunting ballad "Living in the Past," the frenetic instrumental "The Time It Takes," and the ambitious suite "Manhattan Morning" which seamlessly blends multiple musical themes into a cohesive whole.
