About this album

Locked In is a divisive but revealing chapter in Wishbone Ash’s catalogue, showing the band leaning towards a more polished pop-rock sound in 1976. Coming after a run of acclaimed early-’70s albums, it reflects a period when the group was broadening its approach beyond the twin-lead guitar style that made its name. The record has long divided listeners and critics, yet it remains significant for documenting how an established hard-rock band adapted to changing mid-’70s tastes. For listeners tracing Wishbone Ash’s evolution, Locked In offers an important snapshot of the band in transition.
