3 stars I gave them a shot, really I did. But this is one of prog's pantheon that I just cannot get into. I've listened to this album, World Record, The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other at least 5-6 times, just to make sure. And I am sure that I just get past rating them as good. Somewhat interesting, yes, but their sonic template seems based mainly on organ playing that often is just playing the changes, from one chord to another to another, holding them for 20-30 seconds, with some solo sax interplay. There are the occasional "jazzy" freak outs, but they don't really catch my ear. Oh well, I gave it a try. I really did.
