Aphrodite's child 666

"No" looks like winning this.

I don't like Aphrodite's Child at all, the singing is terrible.

What's the problem with you?one spin is enough to say you don't like an album?i'm not even sure you're joking when you talk about blood on your hands, i prefer not imagine what's on your mind

for sure they're allowed ,it's just the way he did that is a problem to me but it's ok,Peace and Love brother  anyway i never have that kind of judgement after one single quick listening and if it's the case because the music realy doesn't talk to me ,i don't talk about it except saying it's not my cup of tea ( my glass of rhum these last days )

I haven't bothered yet to check out the lyrics so...but i idid feel that maybe they weren't taking the subject matter too seriously which some would consider irreverent. I don't have a problem with that but some would i guess.

I think that Vangelis was mostly portraying in the lyrics a literal description of events from Revelations, with a few irreverent compositional elements thrown into the record.  Perhaps the album title scares people away, but I don't really see that the content of the music was blasphemous to religion or spirituality in any real sense.  The song "Aegian Sea" is quite spiritual in a very positive way, to my ears.  Also, the vocals by Irene Papas on "Infinity" do not specifically say anything that could be construed as blasphemy.  I think it is just the unusual repetitive vocal sound that scares some people away from the track, not as a result of the actual content of the lyrics.

Then replace the word "lyrics" with "concept," since it was his idea in the first place.
