Warner 2750 Released: February 1974 Chart Peak: #4 Weeks Charted: 62 Certified Platinum: 10/13/86 Vices marks the latest step in the career of one of America's more noteworthy and consistent singles bands. And like most albums released by bands of this type, it contains one or two potentially strong singles, a couple of left-field surprises and a great deal of mediocre filler. Numbers such as "Eyes Of Silver" and "Road Angel" return successfully to the formula that made "China Grove" and "Long Train Runnin'" the deserving hits that they were -- featuring clean, audible vocals, cohesive though unadventurous instrumentation, and the kind of punchy, upbeat melodies that Top 40 radio thrives on.
