BRAIN SALAD SURGERY

Now before I say anything, I give this album four stars for the last two songs. 'Jerusalem' is a eulogy in shlo-mo. 'Tocatta' sounds like Super Mario when I mess up. 'Still... You Turn Me On' is okay, but recieves too much airplay to be enjoyed anymore, (maybe it is just me). Benny The Bouncer is a delightful little ditty with some real virtuosic honky-tonk piano by Keith. ELP has done several funny songs like this and many people hate them. I love them, personally. Greg is just a wee too spacy sometimes. Karn Evil #9 is a tour-de-force in progressive rock. It cannot be summed up in mere words; one must listen to the album.
