Prog rock. Not as enjoyable as prog metal but I’ll take it.
The centerpiece of this album is a 20-minute prog rock anthem/suite about an armadillo fighting a manticore. Civilization might have been a mistake. Best track: The Only Way (Hymn)
An album with a lot of great, big instruments, which really gives you that gigantic epic, marching-type prog-rock. Maybe a bit to much at times, but some parts I really liked
Very enjoyable listen. Love the atmospheric transitions of the first song (lasting for 20 minutes) while the other shorter songs made memorable hooks.
Fun
This sounded a bit calculated, which makes sense for prog rock. I think I liked it?
Ridiculous and not always in a flattering way. The Bach inclusions are good, and suggest an orientation to composed music which is too rare in popular music. However, as always, I wish that more prog bands would take that inclination further. The opening suite relies on the mythology and packaging around it, I think; In isolation it's rather quotidian. That said, at least it's a 20-minute suite. The B-side opens poorly, with a very silly song, but I felt myself warming to it over time. The ending number was quite endearing, a simple last laugh.
this album was an experience, but was not an experience i enjoyed.
I greatly disiked this album and it made me anxious.
eh just run of the mill 70s prog rock, i've heard worse but also way better. probably wouldn't listen again but that's just cause i don't care enough about this stuff, altho I would be tempted to add the 20min song to any prog playlist etc.
Enjoyable
Just too weird for me… too many keys playing random notes. It’s shame because there were some tunes hiding in there!
