Negative Positive
Title: Magnificent
Review: By turns it's art-rock, ethereal, a dash of fusion and even pop--reflecting the trends of the period and also some of the more progressive cross-pollination. I adore this album, I rue the day this line-up disbanded and TR trimmed down this glorious type of music to a streamlined 4-pc. group w/less experimentation. Though Utopia went on to create some fine stuff showcasing Todd's genius for songcraft, nothing ever again equaled this in terms of scope and majesty.I don't know if he took the bad press to heart or what. It's a shame that those who can't handle sophistication and complexity when it comes to rock music have to pan something like this. The simple 3-chord garage/punk/metal etc. will always be around; just think what a dull, monochromatic world it would be if that was all there was.
Is the review positive or negative?
