Pleasant sounding with some very interesting musicanship but mostly a collection of familiar sounding songs--PROCOL HARUM tries to play LED ZAPPA using ADRIAN BELEW lyrics and vocals?

1. Deep Chasm (Part. I) (3:38) (Interesting musical exercise: playing classical music on electric instruments. 5/10)

2. Deep Chasm (Part. II) (8:03) (Decent pop song gone long. 6/10)

3. Deep Chasm (Part. III) (0:42) (My daughter's fourth grade piano practice piece. 3/10)

4. Deep Chasm (Part. IV) (6:44) (A little something here is IMO ruined by Adrian Belew lyrics and vocals: 5/10)

5. The Grey Legend (12:11) (Probably the best song on the album, but still has too many annoying, old worn out cliche elements. 7/10)

6. Russian Wisdom (5:04) (Wasn't this on the CHICAGO-The CLASH album of Bar Mitzvah music? 5/10)

7. Excavations Of the Mind (11:43) (What?! Are they trying to create a prog epic? Should've tried punk, instead! 5/10)

8. Gyrocopter (2:53) (Jam on, boys! The missing interlude from "Free Bird" 6/10)

Good LP. A Band to watch.
