5 stars I listen to this album 25 years after the last time... Incredible, isn't it ? I though I could be desappointed. The sound looks a bit old. Not so "performing" as today's sounds. Some song looks like Elton John's... Maybe it is not up-to-date. But the emotion is still there. And what a creativity ! Anyway,I understand that some guys do not like it so much. I think one had to be 15-25 in 1976 to really appreciate what "The Story of I" represents. And what a mix with brazilian and spanish sounds ! The light invented by Edison is not the light we use now but what the wordl should be without Edison's invention ? Same for this Moraz's album. And Yes, ELP, Genesis. And Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Who, Stan Getz, Bowie, Mozart, the Beatles. A quality of Story of I is to be a "one piece" album : all the songs work together. I don't know how to tell that in english. In French, I should have speak about "concept album", like Sergeant Pepper's or a Beethoven's symphony. Five stars for The Story of I, afters 30 minutes of hesitation (25 years, it is a long time to ...) but no doubt anymore.
