5 stars This album is simply as great as everyone says it is. What a line-up. It's a shame they didn't get more out of them then "In the Court". My favorite track on here is probably the title track or 21st Century Schizoid Man, but every track is great. "Moonchild" is one of the most underrated songs. I don't understand how people that are supposed to be fans of progressive rock can say it's ten pointless minutes of boring music. I mean, it's called avant-garde for a reason. "Epitaph" and "I talk to the Wind" are both great too. Ian's great on sax and flute. There;s not much left unsaid but, this is truly a masterpiece. I disagree that it's the first prog album, but it definately shattered whatever was left of the mold.
White Shadow | 5/5 |
