For me, it's a great album of U.S. proggy art rock, extremely well done in the retro style of the mid-to-second half of the 1970s (Styx and Kansas). 
I get what their influences are but it's very rough and ready and they also made better albums IMO.

Exactly, anything they did past those two covers works really well in relation to the music. Those first two just aren't where it's at.
