Title: The ELP Gold Vein Is Mined Out...
Product review: Don't get me wrong. I have Shout Factory's release of the eponymous first album, which I dearly love. Trilogy has it's momemnts, and Works is...well, that's another review. But this album, though nicely recorded, reflects the band as stage-stricken with their own hype, and one cannot help but be saddened that the band's edgy creativity became muted when the phony rhinestone glitz got in the way of the expression of true musical genius. The title itself was enough to turn me off, and rather than wait for still more self-indulgent hype, I turned to Bartok and Zappa. But enough said. If you like this album, don't miss out on the Kiss and Andy Gibb albums.
