Negative Positive
Title: In a word, "Dreadful"
Review: "Tales from Topographical Oceans" ranks as one of the worst rock albums I've ever come across. Two albums full of aimless noodling, pointless soloing and pretentious lyrics that will test the patience of any listener. Though Lou Reed's notorious in-your-face epic "Metal Machine Music" receives more notoriety, this album is very similar in that it contains no recognizable songs or any focus whatsoever. Let the fact that even pretensious keyboardist Rick Wakeman abandoned the band after its release tell you all the "Tales" you'll ever need to know.
