Tracks list

On To the Hilt, Golden Earring fully gives themselves over to the prog rock
tendencies that they had toyed with throughout the 1970s. The resulting album
has a strong prog feel but lacks the characteristic sound and the solid material
that defined the group's best efforts to that point. The band puts in a
typically energetic and thunderous performance, but their strong instrumental
chops can't overcome the self-indulgent nature of much of the album's material:
"Why Me?" and "Latin Lightning" are a few of the potentially interesting songs
on To the Hilt that are undercut by dull, overlong sections of jamming. Said
songs also lack the tight arrangements and the sudden, surprising instrumental
twists that made the group's past epics so interesting. The album's rigorous
pursuit of a full-blooded art rock sound results in this album lacking the
distinctive, easily identifiable sound that infused Golden Earring classics like
"Radar Love" or "She Flies on Strange Wings." Despite these problems, some good
songs shine through. The album's best songs tend to be the shortest ones:
"Facedancer" is a strong rocker built on an interesting blend of synthesizer and
acoustic guitar and the title track pursues a galloping country-rock groove that
made it a favorite in concert. However, high points like these are separated by
long stretches of complex but faceless jamming that makes To the Hilt a chore to
get through. As a result, this album is virtually guaranteed to leave the casual
listener cold and can only be recommended to the most hardcore of Golden Earring
fans.
