Title: Not as awful as it's made to be, but still ...
Product review: Ugh... Well, if we remember that by nature, Greg Lake was a popsongwriter, the decision to record songs of this nature in 1978doesn't seem as shocking. Plus, some of the melodies are quite interesting - All I Want is You is excellent, and the title track, The Gambler, and For You are all decent. Alas, all are marred by Emerson's work, which is at best hopelessly generic and at worst annoying as hell. And, of course, you have Memoirs, quite possibly the worst 'epic' track I've ever heard (and I've heard my share). Still, there are enough tasty bits on side one to keep it from total failure
