1974














Tracks

5. Dreamer
6. Rudy

8. Crime Of The Century


I passed a pretty pleasant hour listening to this album and reading a novel.  These songs are definitely catchy: "Dreamer" and "Asylum" in particular.

Still, it simply isn't as good as other prog rock I have listened to; even the albums I haven't really enjoyed had more of a punch.  A reason for their pretentiousness, if you will.  It also sounded a bit like a rip off of Dark Side of the Moon. 

But I am sort of nitpicking at this point.  It is an entertaining album that has some great keyboard solos.  Good, not great.

RATING: 3/5
