This double album is very appreciated item, and it surely has many good qualities, but I really have to admit that I get bored when trying to listen this thing trough. For example the A-side is totally killed by the song "Loud, Loud, Loud", which could have been recorded in some christian revivalist convention tent! The album works a strong statement, but I'm not open towards religious propaganda messages like this. Also, I like more the nice late-60's gems which the band managed to forge, alas among with many filler tracks too. "Aegian Sea" is a quite beautiful "hit" moment on this record along with "The Four Horseman", but as a complete piece of work, I haven't got a good grip of this album, and it has mostly gathered dust in my bookshelf. But if you're into symphonic concept epics, and if christian religious content doesn't bother you, this is surely an interesting classic to be checked out.
