5 stars In spite of it's flaws (the long jam on "Moonchild", that the some of the other songs aren't perfect), I'm giving this album 5 stars because of it's importance and because "21st Century Schizoid Man" is an amazing jazzy song which has a great riff and a brilliant performance (the best song here of course, and a classic), "Epitaph" is a will blow your mind with it's "drama" (yeah, maybe it's a bit "fake", but it's still impressive), "I Talk To The Wind" has a great melody and some nice flutes, and "The Court..." features many gorgeous parts that make it a great listen. Oh, Moonchild is on about the same level until it changes around 2:30 into a long jam, that while it might be boring, it's still "relaxing", so you must be in the mood to enjoy it.
