GAUDI

From 1987, this is one of the better of the ALAN PARSONS PROJECT releases, especially when judged against most of their later output. It has the typical Parson's mix of pleasant, harmless prog/pop and rock songs a the token ballad and instumentals. I find the opening track "La Sagrada Familia" to be the strongest, and one of the best the group has done. The quality drops after that, but there is not really a bad song on the album. It is not TALES OF MYSTERY or I ROBOT, or even PYRAMID, but is at least equal to TURN OF A FRIENDLY CARD. The last really good Parson's album I think.
