THE WAR OF THE WORLDS

This was a grand offering at the time of release in 1978 and it is very good, there is no doubt about that. Personally to give it a five star rating is a bit overkill as it had measured success in the prog world. Was it prog? Richard Burton's narration is perfect for the part and the musician line up contributing to War Of The Worlds is of the highest calibre. Musically though it falls short of being excellent in that it shows limitations, too numerous to mention. These limitations aside still make for a very good record.
