Unlike their debut album "The Garden of Jane Delawney" (also 1970), come to "On The Shore" electric guitars more to contribute, and even the sound is a bit rockier than on the gloomy predecessor, the range is wider, which is not to say that the album is better, no, it's weaker. "Jane Delawney" has a magic that "On the shore" is missing. The songs (about two-thirds are original compositions of the band) are quite ok, the tunes well, but the spark does not jump over. The "cultivated boredom" that can be found on the debut of the Trees in part, here is easily bored.
Still recommended for every friend of the British Folks those days, compare with Fairport Convention or Pentangle on offer.
