(loud buzzer noise) nope! wrong! not mainstream! 2500 points away from Manzarena
Jigsaw Falling Into Place admittedly makes me bust everywhere but the rest of this is a snoozefest
When you think of prog legends, you think of Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, and a few others. What you don't normally hear is Camel. Camel was in the kitchen in the back cooking and refining the essence of what makes prog rock good.
Camel was never a true pioneer of progressive rock or sonic experimentation, compared to bands like King Crimson or Yes, the latter of which had released their epic, boundary-pushing 4-track double album "Tales from Topographic Oceans" just 3 ... read more
Phil Collins proves he can be a prog mastermind but this and a few highlights from W&W are all we really get from him.
Predictable and boring (especially by the last two), instrumentals are super cool but Thom Yorke's voice just shits all over it. Airbag, Electioneering, and No Surprises are great highlights though
(57 > 91) Disregard what i said before... shit fucks
When I think of a perfectly mediocre album this is what comes to mind. It's insane how little impact this leaves on me. It has a couple good songs, One Day and A Winter's Tale (although it is a bonus track), it was some bad songs, and it has a whole lot of forgettable songs.
Dire Straits goes back to back with incredible records, following up Making Movies with an even more ambitious piece of art
I like the original a smidge more but you really couldn't mess up Animals no matter what
Nooooo guys you can’t make a three track album and then have every track be equally perfect that’s not allowed!!!!
Sorry in advance
Stupidly good, sucks you in immediately and then spits you out 35 minutes later and then a few months later you’re like “holy shit Close to the Edge is the single best song of all time” and then three months after that you’re like “holy shit Siberian Khatru is also the best song of all time” and then a few more ... read more
If you don't listen to anything apart from The Nile Song and Cymbaline this is amazing. It's a shame there are 11 other songs, though Green is the Colour, Ibiza Bar, and More Blues are solid.
This is better than Meddle!! This is better than The Wall!! This is a top four Pink Floyd album!! The real Pink Floyd four album run is Obscured by Clouds to Animals!! Wot's... Uh the Deal? is top 20!! Mudmen is top 20!! Childhood's End is top 20!!
This album is FAR too underappreciated. Some of the band's best work is on this and it gets overshadowed by Meddle and Dark Side.
