THE LADDER

This album didn't appeal to me, expect that it's covers by Roger Dean are marvelous. The players perform wonderfully, but the songs lack that kind of spirit or direction which I would appreciate. Compared to the early 70's day albums, I feel that they have lost their ability to create good compositions. But I guess the listener has to be able to consume feminine new-age pop rock to like this. Maybe my lack of this ability is my own loss? The good reviews of this album prove luckily, that there are listeners who enjoyed this album too. You just have to identify your own tastes, and I suggest a listening before buying!
