Title: Just the Right Balance
Review: A well-balanced mix of songs and sounds makes this album one of their most approachable. As is often the case with progressive rockers, the soloing at times gets a bit too demonstrative (as on the title cut) and ELP's lyrics have always lacked something that Jethro Tull and Yes seem to pull off, but precise songs like the cult favorite "From the Beginning" and superb ensemble pieces like "Rodeo" make this CD a great buy. A good introductory CD for the uninitiated.
