BRAIN SALAD SURGERY

'If your looking for safe, critic-approved, politically correct pop music enlightenment' .get off. Carl Palmer could not have but it better (expect for that last bit which I put in to make it sound better).

Before this Album the only ELP song I had heard was 'I believe in Father Christmas'. I just thought they were an ordinary pop band. But boy was I wrong. I can clearly remember hearing 'Toccata' for the first time and it still as sounds as fresh as it did the timing hearing it as does the rest of the Album. This album still sands shivers up my spine. Not else much to say other than jaw dropping, bombastic brilliance In my opinion along with KC 'Red' and Yes "Close to the edge" these are the defining albums of the genre.

ELP broke every rule with this album. In the end isn't that what Prog rock is?
