Progressive aspirations were set aside for Four, the group's most solid-rocking album, though the folk-based element is still there, more solid than ever.
"Ballad of the Beacon" is a genuinely beautiful song, and might have come from any number of electric folk-rock bands -- the fact that it came from Wishbone Ash indicates just how serious they were in wanting to explore some of these sounds.
This is their most mature and successful album.
