Lets ave ittt!!!! one of the most raw and energetic albums ever.
fav track: the private psychedelic reel
Simply a great rock record. Full of noise, confusion and euphoria
fav tracks: Be Here Now, Its Gettin Better, All Around the World, Stand By Me, Fade In-Out
A record that consciously deconstructs prog-rock and as a result music as a whole. Intimidating as hell in its bashful experimentation by some of the most talented musicians in the business that sometimes has echoes of German 'kozmische rock'. I wish we got more material from the double drummer line up of Jaime Muir and Bill Bruford. What an explosive and fun duo.
An absolute masterpiece.
ELP at their artistic peak. Their best album imo. Most dynamic, catchiest songs, beet melodies. Just a bit of a filler ending. Right after them figuring out their sound and right before them going absolutely off in the deep end
One of the most immersive albums completely in its own universe. Truly one of the first bedroom albums since this album was made mostly by Eno in bed recovering from an accident. With the breathtaking aid from Robert Fripp this is one of the greatest albums ever made. Its just not that consistent imo
Less brutal than Tago Mago but also less accesible than Ege Bamyasi
Their most ethereal work before Suzuki's departure.
R.I.P. Damo.
the best year for music in the 60s: 1968
bursting with life and creativity, this album shows bold musical outings and catchy hooks in the psych rock realm outside of the Anglosphere. Not a perfect album but very enjoyable and fascinating.
