I always felt that saxophones in prog are a no go area, UNLESS they are used in an imaginitive and/or suitable way. David Jackson of VDGG, for example is a prog sax master, KC's use of sax is good, as is Hawkwinds (albeit very badly played ) But soulfull, or poppy sax in prog is not appropriate IMO.. Despite this, the IQ songs where it's used are very strong songs, and this compensates for the sax. |

Then you might want to leave it a while before you write the review. |

Gentle Giant - Octopus
Genesis - The Lamb Lies down on Broadway. The first time I listened to the whole thing I was pretty disappointed but when I bought the lp two years later I was spellbound and it became my favourite Genesis album along with Nursery Cryme |

Happened to me with Jethro Tull - TAAB, had the album for a good while but only recently discovered its brilliance! Mahavishnu Orchestra - inner Mounting Flame also took a while to fully appreciate, but now its one of my favourite albums.

I've said it once before. When I got King crimson's "Staless & bible black" I was very dissapointed. After few listens I just left it. And I was a crimson lover then (and now). After 20 years (no mistake - twenty years) I said to myself let's check it again and fell in love with it immediately. I think this is kind of a world record (not a very positive one though). I agree with the claim every complex album needs time and for me it took a while with Yess' "Close to the edge" and "Fragile" which I realy love now. I strongly support Sigod that one should review an album only after he felt he knows and understands the album very well. |

JADE WARRIOR "Released" When I first listened this ten years ago, I was interested about YES and GENESIS. The jazz, etnhic and rock elements of this were too confusing to me then, but now it feels like totally great album. A true five-starer!
That pic is fun! I got inspired and I'll go sleeping... |

For me it was Nursery Cryme. I thought it was decent with a few standout
tracks when I first got it. Now I love it. I can't even believe I didn't think it was a masterpiece at first. |

patrick moraz - timecode my appreciation raised by about 2 stars, certainly my highest ranking difference for an album. however, timecode is still a very ordinary album: i would say 50% is good and 50% is bad Edited by greenback |

Much of Pink Floyd. I was a kid when a lot of their stuff came
out and just didn't like it, but can really get into it now.
