Emerson Lake & Palmer

Symphonic Prog

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

This is the album that would have bettered the eponymous CTTE by Yes if it had just had a better second side. The title track is about the best thing ever put down on 1 side of vinyl, but god were they short of ideas for the second side. I'm a dyed in the woll ELP fan but that second side has probably been on my turntable half a dozen times in 30 years.

On a star rating I would give this 6 out of 5 for side 1 but 2 out of 5 for side 2 - having said that the title track is good enough to have produced a 1 sided album & given it 5 out of 5. It has everything that you could ever want in an album track, feeling, intensity, emotion, just everything.
