TARKUS

Yust like most reviewers allready pointed out the Tarkus suit is a prog classic and rightly so 20min pure progrock at its very best, to bad side to is not on the same level, normaly i dont like to use the word filler i dont think there is sutch a thing as a filler track even a short instrumental number can have a purpos like linking toghter 2 bigger tracks, but if there ever was a filler its jeremy bender totlay pointles litle song that dont realy go or do anything good. ELPs other 2 trys at short comic songs The sherif and benny the bouncer where much more succesfull and funny. Bitches crystal is beter a hard rocking litle number thats pretty good, then its time for some religion bashing how sweet, 3 slow and i gues pretty boring tracks with typcial emmerson piano they are okay but nothing special. The album ends with one of ELPs most infamus songs Are you ready eddy, its the guyz trying to play a typicla simpel rock song and its nothing special not bad not good. Well if side 2 hade been as good as side 1 we hade been talking 4.5 or 5 stars but now side 2 drags the album down very much so i give it 3 stars it is a classic prog album after all.
