   I'm struggling to make this determination myself, as I reclassify some albums on my computer. This was right at the crossroads of the two genres. To my surprise, I'm finding myself leaning more towards proper prog rock for this one - it wasn't until their next album that they really deeply delved into AOR.

Come Sail Away is really the only AOR track on this one imo. The reset is prog.

What do you think?

Edit 1: I've made up my mind... it's prog rock. Not quite AOR, yet, imo. Still want to hear your opinions.
Edit 2: Even Come Sail Away is proper prog, imo...
