Análisis (en inglés) - :
After slowly but surely building a fanbase around the world with albums like {^Razamanaz} and {^Loud & Proud}, {$Nazareth} finally hit the big time in 1975 with {^Hair of the Dog}. The title track sets the mood for this stark album of {\hard rock} with its combination of relentless guitar riffs, a throbbing, cowbell-driven beat, and an angry vocal from {$Dan McCafferty} that denounces a "heart-breaker, soul-shaker." The end result is a memorably ferocious rocker that has become a staple of {\hard rock} radio stations. The remainder of the album divides its time between similarly pulverizing {\hard rock} fare and some intriguing experiments with the group's sound. In the rocker category, notable tracks include {&"Miss Misery,"} a bad romance lament driven by a doomy riff worthy of {$Black Sabbath}, and {&"Changin' Times,"} a throbbing {\hard rock} tune driven by a hypnotic, circular-sounding guitar riff. In the {\experimental} category, the big highlight is {&"Please Don't Judas Me,"} an epic tune about paranoia that trades {\heavy metal} riffs for a spooky, synthesizer-dominated atmosphere that is further enhanced by some light, {$Pink Floyd}-styled slide guitar work. The American edition of this album also included a surprise hit for the group with their power {\ballad} reinterpretation of {$the Everly Brothers} classic {&"Love Hurts."} However, the album's surprise highlight is a song that bridges the gap between the straight {\hard rock} and {\experimental} songs, {&"Beggars Day/Rose in Heather"}; it starts out as a stomping rocker but smoothly transforms itself midway through into a gentle and spacey instrumental where soaring synthesizer lines support some moody guitar work. All in all, {^Hair of the Dog} is the finest album in the {$Nazareth} catalog. It is a necessity for both the group's fans and anyone who loves 1970s {\hard rock}.
