TOPographic Ocean of choice

My friend, Curt, took that photo.  He's the best amateur concert photographer ever!  

Check this one out!  Jon during "The Gates of Delirium" at the same show! 

The Remembering. Awesome climactic piece with the hit single - Relayer - that never was.

I do think this album should have had it's sections indexed so we can see it's not 4 songs despite being over 4 sides. Actually The Revealing Science is the only one with it's repeating themes that bears any resemblance to a song. Quite brilliant. The Ancient is two pieces and The The Remembering is 2, possibly 3. Ritual might be four pieces.

Which is why we call it an opinion, just like yours, which I also happen to disagree with.

The Revealing Science of God is light years ahead of the rest of the record IMHO and they could have stopped at that one track and it would arguably be tied with CTTE.

How is Dark Side of The Moon not overrated, by comparison (assuming you're one of the people here that worship that album)? I will never not harp on that when people attempt to argue empirical subjectivity (contradiction) lol.

You like what you like, we like what we like. Enjoy it! 

Light years? LOL. No way. It's repetitious and doesn't really go anywhere. It's good but it's not as adventurous as the other tracks on the album. Opinion? No, it's a fact. 

Ok, I'm not saying people can't have their opinion but just that I personally don't get it. I do think ritual kind of starts to lose the plot at some point but the first half is fantastic. At some point you hear what sounds like a little kid banging two pots and two pans and then it gets slow and sappy but much of it is great. TRSOG starts out great and I like the chorus and the one synth solo but other than that it just seems to go around in circles or something. The most underrated track on Tales imo is probably the Ancient though. I just really like the exotic sound of it. It's probably the most otherwordly thing they did up to that point(surpassed on the next album relayer though).
