Title: Tales from Apocalyptic Oceans??
Product review: I was rather surprised by the mostly glowing reviews this disk has received here. I've been a Mahavishnu fan for ages, but never bothered to buy this disk until a few weeks back when I was able to pick it up for $6 at the Tower Records bankruptcy sale. While quite audacious in its ambitions, it doesn't hold a candle to any of the other early 70's Mahavishnu releases, including Visions of the Emerald Beyond. In fact, for some reason it reminds me of another ambitious, but ultimately flawed album from around that time, "Tales From Topographic Oceans" by Yes. Both albums have their moments, but both also have some very weak moments that render the overall listening experience a bit burdensome.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
