MOONMADNESS

I love The Snow Goose, and I rate Mirage along with the best of the early Prog giants, but for some reason Moonmadness leaves me as cold as... well, the moon. With the lone exception of "Another Night," none of the songs grab me at all. There are none of the hooks of "Lady Fantasy" or "Rhayader." I guess what I'm getting at is that it feels uninspired and formulaic. I'm not really buying the whole "concept" of the album either. This is generic '70's symphonic Prog that tries too hard and buries inspiration under aspiration. Stick with their earlier records.
