3 stars I have to agree with most of the other reviewers. "Tarkus" is the stand out song while the rest is pretty much filler (especially "Are You Ready Eddy").

I first heard the song "Tarkus" on the live album "Welcome Back My Friends to the Show that Never Ends..". Compared to that uptempo version, this studio album version sounds lethargic. However the "Eruption" sounds on the studio album sound more "organic", "woody", "ballsy".

Since I think the only good track is "Tarkus" and I like the live version better, I won't rate this album quite that high.
