After investing many many hours into Van Der Graaf Generator, notably Godbluff and Pawn Hearts, I have to conclude I'm not a fan. They are a great band, just not my taste.

I'm not the only one who likes acts like Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Pink Floyd but not VDGG.

I don't have issues with the fact that these recordings are daunting or complex. I also don't have issues with compositions that go all over the place. This is what I like about Larks Tongue in Aspic. But VDGG is all over the place in a relentless way. It's difficult for me to get a hold onto something. So difficult that I gave up.

While I do like Godbluff more than this album, I don't think it is fair I'd give it 2 stars. It is good and it has its place in prog. 3 stars from me.
