Yes - The Quest

I know opinions vary and all that but to rate The Quest higher than Tormato is just being silly. I didn't mind Tormato the first time I heard it but then I heard a live bootleg of one of the shows from that tour and it blew me away. I have a much greater appreciation for Tormato now...and I don't even think of The Quest at all anymore.

Anyone here going to fess up as part of the 12% that gave it 5 stars?

it's a fair average rating , what can we expect from musicians who have almost 60 years of career?

^ you deserve some kind of award for getting through 3 listens

Name dropping songs.  Perhaps Howe had a boomer moment. Or Davidson had a Generation X-out Pins and Needles -The Searchers Revolution, Magical Mystery Tour, and She Came In Through The Bathroom Window- The Beatles

I've only listened to this album one time straight through and I've had no inclination to revisit it since.

I'll just make sure I skip this particular song. Alan, you've obviously not heard 'Open Your Eyes' all the way through... there really are some shockers on there.. and again, it pains me to say that about a band I loved to listen to, growing up.

I got about halfway before I moved on to the next track, if I ever hear it again I may have to tear my own ears off. In that case, you won't be surprised to hear "Mystery Tour" is the highlight of the album for me.
