Title: Everyone should own this album
Review: Okay, where do I start?This album is 2nd all-time only to the live ELP album, "Welcome Back...". It is a synergistic anthem to a world gone mad, with reflections on the past which led to the future's demise.One day I was reading a book on the Battle of Stalingrad while Toccata was playing in the background. How could it fit so well? It is the most haunting song I have ever heard with head phones on. Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer become one in a digital blast of fury. Synthesizer percussion? Yes, and this album is from 1973.This is ELP at the studio best. If you are looking to "get into" ELP, start with this CD. If you can't stomach it after the fifth play, you will never, ever appreciate ELP and their music. Nothing, even from the band Yes, even comes close to much of what ELP did. And this album is their signature piece.
Is the review positive or negative?
