THE BEST OF ALAN PARSONS PROJECT

If you ask me what was my first meeting with progressive rock, I would probably answer The Wall by Pink Floyd, but if I think straight, then I would realize that actually my first meeting was with this compilation album by The Alan Parsons Project, of course, when I was a child I had no idea about what progressive rock was, not even my father, who introduced me to this band.

I have so good memories, because I remember being an eight-year old kid who loved singing "Eye in the Sky" or "Games People Play" (probably the two most successful (commercially speaking) songs of them) sit in my parent's bed, or in the car when we used to travel. I believe this was one of the albums most played in my childhood, or at least one that I clearly remember, maybe because of my current musical tendencies. Nowadays, I keep that old cassette with me and though I don't play it frequently, when I do it, I enjoy it. But well, that is probably because of the memories it brings, because being objective, I think we all know this compilation is not really an example of the best music The Alan Parsons Project offered, not at all. What this album has is just a sum of their better known songs and top sellers, so if you don't know the band deeper, then you may feel please listening to tunes such as "Games People Play", "Time", "Old and Wise", "Psychobabble" or the classic "Eye in the Sky".

In terms of my feelings, I would give this album at least three (if not four) stars, but honestly it deserves less, so musically talking "The best of Alan Parsons Project" will have two stars as my final grade. Better to buy their studio albums if you are interested in their music. Anyway?

Enjoy it!
