- Mixed DisasterMore a mix of tracks than a coherent album - two absolute duds at the end almost ruining the thing.
Maddy gives a great performance on one track; the drums work on some others - it was Americas introduction to the group - wonder what they made of it? For me, the two previous albums made a lot more sense and gave a satisfaction which is only partial here.
Disappointing in many ways - but experimentation is bound to fail much of the time.
Rating:
- A bit mixedI say this album is mixed because when it's good, it's REALLY good, and when it's bad it's REALLY bad. The number of good tracks outweigh the bad so I can still give it 4 stars. I do really love this album as it was the first Steeley Span album I heard as a child.
First the good tracks. Seven Hundred Elves, Drink Down the Moon, Thomas the Rhymer, The Mooncoin Jig and Two Magicians. Seven Hundred Elves is a great opener, and as a child one of my favourite songs along with Two Magicians. ... Read More

- Now We Are SixWhat`s wrong with "Seven Hundred Elves"! Sure, it`s not the best track on the album, but it`s certainly not pedestrian! It fits in very nicely with the rest of the (good)material on the album.
For the record, the three duff tracks on Now We Are Six are -1) The execrable "Now We Are Six", which is NOT, as you would expect, the "title track", but features Maddy Prior and other band members impersonating children(thus the "St. Eleye School Choir", a play on the word Steeleye) singing(badly) a childrens` ...

- Vintage Steeleye from their golden eraNow We Are Six is classic Steeleye Span. Okay, there are the three mind-bogglingly extraneous and gratuitous nonsense tracks, but the rest of the album is must-have material for anyone interested in Steeleye Span. Whilst the two preceding albums were arguably better, overall, this album has some nice touches, such as new drummer Nigel Pegrum`s oboe and flute playing, not to mention his drumming! I prefer Now We Are Six to the albums that followed it. I think that between Now We Are Six and Commoners Crown, ... Read More

- Steeleye begin to really rock.I have given this 3 stars, but it was really hard to decide on a rating at all. This is because this album contains the best Steeleye track of ALL time, bar none - Thomas the Rhymer - which deserves 10 stars! There is also the delightful Two Magicians, with superb, dancing fiddle work by Peter Knight. His featured instrumental, the Mooncoin Jig is a goodie, too. The weird Drink Down The Moon is now featured on their latest collection as an all-time favourite. However, there is unfortunately some real dross as well! ... Read More
