Oh, that's a harsh thing to say. 
Everyone knows how much you love Triumvirat, but to say that Eloy's Ocean does not hold a candle to Illusions is a tad too much. Smile
Hey, calm down; I wasn't cursing Eloy or their album, or shouting profanities, and I did say something good about Eloy's Ocean. I don't think I was that harsh or abusive....and well, you already know where I stand about Triumvirat. Everyone is entitled to express their opinion around here.

I'm not sure. I'll probably have to listen to Ocean more before I decide. I'm not a big fan of the drum sound on Illusions. It has a very "thud thud" sound that kind of puts me off and I have a hard time getting past it. Fortunately the drum sound improved a bit on Spartacus but still wasn't perfect. If it wasn't for that Illusions would be a four star album instead of 3 and a half (for me).

I am very calm, I used a smiley face emoticon, I am not hostile. I just disagree with your statement.

I missed that emoticon. I am sorry if I overreacted. We will have to agree to disagree on this one, though. Peace.

This one is a tie for me. Generally I prefer Eloy to Triumvirat, but I have overplayed Ocean as a teenager to the extent that I hardly ever feel like listening to it now. It's a good album for sure but I actually prefer quite a number of Eloy albums to it. Triumvirat never really clicked with me but I have enough respect for Double Dimple that I won't vote against it here.

Eloy again
