TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS

I heard some prog-fans talking about TFTO as a masterpiece: I really don't understand. I'm a really great fan of prog music, but I think this album has not enough ideas to build so long tracks!! Generally, I think it is not fundamental to do long songs, solos, etc...; every musician must concentrate also on the melody, it's important. Yes didn't do that on this album. I found it boring and every time I try to listen it, from the first note to the last, it results impossible to me: I really don't enjoy myself in listening this album!!
