I could feel my enjoyment for Prog Rock being tested for a good majority of this albums runtime. Every time I could feel myself coming around to enjoying something on this album it would start to overindulge in some way that left me scampering, only for it to lull me back into enjoyment later down the line. The potential ratings I was tossing around in my mind initially were very mixed, but I was considering being a bit generous with my score until around the middle/later portions of Blues Variation where it started to just feel a little too gratuitous, The Baba Yaga stretch towards the end did win me back a bit but good god those synthesizers really are a fucking blight on a lot of this album. Promenade and The Sage was my favourite stretch of the whole thing overall though. Still probably never listening to this again, I'm also really starting to fucking loathe any album I see on here that is credited to a super group
