666

I was really disappointed with this one after all the praising I heard during the years before I actually listened to the album. Ok, sure, it is progressive, it is bold, the musicians involved are very talented. etc. But all this does not necessarily translates into good music. And good music is not what you get in 666. Considering the group´s pop past I wonder the impact this album might have had at the time. And it is no surprise it did not have a follow up. It is almost completely experimental, with very few memorable melodies, if any at all.

Not much to say. It seems this album has some historical importance, I guess, as one of the first conceptual prog albums or something like that. But it did not age well. it sounds like a lot of LPs that were released at the time: pop groups trying to get some respect from critics doing something unusual, different or just crazy. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it did not. To my ears, this group failed to come up with something that was new, original and still quite enjoyable. You better check this out before buying the CD. Just for the hardcore prog fans and collectors, definitely.
