1001 Albums Summary

An uninspiring album, unfortunately. The lyrics, while subversive at times, can't be enjoyed thoroughly behind the bombastic, yet dull arrangements. Perhaps I could enjoy Springsteen's less radio-friendly output.

As is very often the case with prog albums, this feels like the case of something made by musicians, for musicians. If you seek sophisticated, jazzy rock instrumentals, you will most likely enjoy this record. However, if you like your music to have substance beyond arrangements, then there's not too much to be found here. Coming from a Bruce Springsteen's record, some nice arrangements was exactly what I needed.
