The first time I listened to it I was completely astonished, shocked. I had never heard anything like this.

I think about the year it was released, 1973: there was a moon showing its dark side to the whole world; yet I prefer the moon embraced by sunshine...

I'd advise you to reconsider if the fact that a non-metal band is not being featured on a certain metal website is worth all that anger

Yes it does, because bands like King Crimson and Rush are here as well and they're non-Metal bands...why isn't Yes or Camel here as well, they're in the Progressive Rock category too...

Yeah, there are lots of examples, it depends on what staff member is accepting bands at the moment I guess.
What I mean is, for example... suppose that Pink Floyd is added. You'd rate their albums, make a short comment about some them on the album threads and probably add a few to some lists... and that's it. Does your happiness depend on that? Just don't your complicate yourself over things like this.

I know men it just upsets me the fact that these bands made what those modern metal bands are today, and they are here too as well, so both deserve the same right...i think it's stupid from the part of the staff members, as least my opinion!!

Rush's old stuff is quite metallic whereas none of Camel's or Yes' or Pink Floyd's stuff is even King Crimson is more metallic than those bands.

Sort of hard to get into at first, though this is a nice experimental rock record. It's quite avant-garde for the period in which it was released. I like it.

This and Red are their best albums. This is their best "prog" album and Red is their best "rock" album imo.

Has its moments (Exiles and Easy Money), but how could I say this is an interesting album as whole? Skip button I use with this one.

Probably my favorite KC album. There have been a lot of prog bands over the years whose ambition hasn't even reached this far, much less their execution. Music this creative doesn't come around often.
