5 stars Aaagh. Yeah. Best prog album? Maybe not, but it's still a total masterpiece. I mean, And You And I is easily the best acoustic song ever written. Close To The Edge is one of the best epics ever written, and Siberian provides an excellent upbeat finale to the album with great riffs a-plenty. Wat more could you want? Well, I have heard people say the album is too short - 37 minutes is short even for an LP - but the quality goes far over what would be expected for any album. If this album sustained the same quality but was on a CD release, THAT, my friends, would be the best prog album. Speaking of which, go listen to some Arena.
