This album was a major flop upon release both critically and commercially. It is also considered to have been one of the largest wastes of money in the music industry of all time. Wow, that is quite the resume. Needless to say, I was nervous about this one.
At first I was scared that this is one of those albums that elitists put on the list to prove that they are misunderstood by the mainstream. However, this album actually wasn't half bad. In fact, it was pretty inoffensive and standard; I was surprised at how much it had flopped. It is weird that pretty normal music will do so poorly but space sound effects will fare so well.
However, this album wasn't good enough to be considered an underrated masterpiece. Really, its obscurity is no great loss to our society but it was still a pleasant way to spend an hour.
RATING: 3/5
