Don't be obtuse

Not every band or artist gets to have such a strong last album. Yep. It's better than Gentle Giant's Civilian although maybe that's not saying a whole lot. I'd say it's better than VDGG's Do Not Disturb (if that is indeed their last) also although again not saying a whole lot. I still like all these albums just not as much as Clockwork Angels. I never even heard ELP's In the Hot Seat but from what I understand it seems like that's probably one of the worst (if not the worst) final albums by a major prog band.  yep that and Calling All Stations. Both could be used as some evil form of torture  To be honest I am not sure I understand all the hatred for Calling All Stations. If it wasn't put out by Genesis I doubt everyone would be so hard on it. I'm not saying it's one of their best and it might even be their worst but I guess I just don't feel it's as awful as others think it is.

Every time I see this thread title, I think:

^I think Civilian was a very good album. Better than 95% of any prog band or artist's final release.

I wouldn't say it's their best album, but it was certainly a very strong album to finish their career. Not every band or artist gets to have such a strong last album.

Welcome to PA.......Maybe this would fit better under the Rush Appreciation thread. Also your spelling is a bit off on the topic title . It's Clockwork Angels........Regardless I think the final album by my fav all time band is excellent! There are some excellent songs on it as well production. Also the final song on their final album is about as appropriate as can have ever been planned.
