THE MYTHS AND LEGENDS OF KING ARTHUR AND THE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE

"The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table", the album which you either like it or hate it, me? I'm neutral, there are things I like about it and there are things I dislike. Don't get me wrong, this as prog as an album can get, song length, instrumentation, a concept. There are a few cheesy bits in the vocals which drag the album down. The highlights for me are "Arthur" and "Merlin the Magician" both of which are very proggyand have nice melodies and themes. Rick Wakeman played an excellent live version "Merlin the Magician" during his farewell tour to Australia. of The album has a lot of synth like all wakeman and it is a tad overindulgent at times. It is a good album, entertaining and it has a classic Wakeman sound. Not bad, but there is better wakeman stuff out there. Good, but non-essential
