CRIME OF THE CENTURY

One of the most underappreciated albums in rock. The overall atmosphere of this excellent concept album is as beautiful as can be. Every song is a mini-musical. Hide in Your Shell is one of the best unknown gems in quasi-prog-rock, and the ending of the title song is one of the most haunting fade-outs I've ever heard. It's also nice to hear Dreamer in its proper context, instead of as a Top 40 hit. Along with Klaatu's "Hope" and 10CC's "Sheet Music," one of those album that everyone SHOULD have, but probably doesn't.
