Review title: What was the point of this project???
Product review: I recieved this album as a gift at Christmas in 1980. I was a fan of UK progressive rock and the person who bestowed this gift upon me thought that this would be right up my alley. Don't get me wrong, some of the music is good, but that disco beat HAS TO GO!!!!. The unfortunate thing about the album is that despite some decent music, the whole concept is utterly stupid!!! HG Wells "War of the Worlds" as a rock opera concept album??? I think that calls for a: what the hell were you thinking Jeff Wayne??? When critics look back on the UK prog scene of the 70's and mock it as self indulgent egotistical nonsense, this is the kind of album they are referring to. This is an interesting album to own, and definitley an enigmatic piece of progressive rock history, but the disco beat and the "ooooo laaaas" just make me laugh when I hear it now. If Joey Ramone was a spy, and he was captured by the KGB, this is the album they would use to get him to talk.
