4 stars 'The Magician's Birthday' saw them in the novel position of having the same line-up; stability is not something that the band has been famous for over the last thirty years or so. This is probably one of the reasons why this is a very varied album, as they use many different styles although Ken again provided the vast majority of the material. These three albums are often viewed as their strongest, with many proggers picking this as the best as there is so much going on, with acoustic guitars very much to the fore as well as hard rock and plenty of keyboards. The title cut is a classic.
