I don't understand how they bought that second side was acceptable?

Tarsus is easy 5/5, on point vocals, tasteful keyboard playing, incredible cohesion, a masterclass in creating a suite.

The second side is pure throwaway. Ragtime piano everywhere lame generic Rock n roll sing'n, terrible 1-3* material.

Jeremy Bender is different then Tarkus which is fine except it is unpleasant due to its jokey nature thanks to ragtime piano lyrics like "threatened to fist her"? immediately kills the epicness built by Tarkus 2/5

Bitches Crystal is more rock and is alright, perhaps listened to alone, away from the surrounding songs it would be better.

The Only Way (Hymn) is to classical, an issue I have with the debut. It's alright.

Infinite Space opens up nicely, good piano work and maintains the quality level. Best track on the second side.

A Time And A Place is solid organ hard rock second best song on the second side.

Are You Ready Eddy is like Jeremy Bender?

4/5, despite a flawed second side Tarkis is still a great album.
