The album in concept art does not reflect their actual experiences according to their biographical background information(but I could be wrong) nor does it envelop to the spirit of progressive thinking. It feels that if I write what I want they will turn me into this album cover? As far as concerned any group with modern progression of instruments can be considered progressive as all albums have changes in sound to some extent into of which are considered progressive since the elements included unto this album are from folk but into rock. This melded variation albeit is attempting to be unique and was at the time frame for the most part of trying to transcend musical tastes from folk to rock with folk rock. In then time many fans consider it as pushing the tide of sound but truthfully rock in general can be considered a progression from folk. In this regard but truly in progressive music if considering the whole genre to be progressive as this album of folk to rock attempts at enveloping collectively into progressive from previous that it returns to classical music will never be matched in progressions of its ever changing styles of rhythm as essential music that stands all time but just did not record to modern standards from then time.

That the root of progressive music can be viewed as classical composing and music while all else are applied variants disguising the classical into the modern by the modern innovation/progression of instrument. Pushing the tide and envelop of sound has long been staple of progressive music while embracing progressive music towards this understanding means progressive music becomes a catch all to vary any sound in any musical time frame and anything in between. The progression of modern instruments can be viewed as naturally progressing sound meaning any album can be viewed in this progression of sound which does not make any album nor worst or better but falls into all people will never agree with another in progressive as it is the agreed differences that make the progressions. This album is a fan favorite album that has transcended time but all albums should in this regard and don't think one does it any better than the other since even what one considers as the worst or most horrible album is still widely available to the public.

In transcendance the album is transcendant towards music not necessarily entirely progressive but used the flow of progressive instruments from one genre to another as only they could into providing the recordings they did. Just to note the musicians from this time era that are considered as the founders of progressive music never played on purpose progressive music meaning they did not define or a musician group member from then time did not explicitly label their sound according to information as progressive. The progressive genre was created after the fact as they all played to play cause simply that is what they like spending their time doing. And so with that observance included none of the groups are considered progressive or essential since simply they never thought of themselves as progressive musicians to begin with as it is other people attempting to create the label progressive. The labels into defining music in my opinion have to be labeled by the musicians or those who participated into playing.
