About this album
Broken Barricades finds Procol Harum stripping back some of the ornate grandeur of their earlier work for a tighter, more forceful rock album. Released in 1971, it is remembered for its leaner guitar-driven sound, with Robin Trower’s playing helping push the band towards a harder-edged progressive style. The album balances the weight of songs like Simple Sister with more expansive pieces such as Song For A Dreamer, showing a group still writing ambitiously while becoming more direct. It stands as one of the band’s key early-’70s statements and a significant step in their evolution after A Whiter Shade of Pale made them famous.
