I can't look at that album much beyond a novelty record. Between the band dressed in Hun grab, standing in a meat locker and songs that fall apart miserably less than 30 seconds in... yeah.
They get points for originality using only a drummer and organist and trying to play hard rock. Maybe it's because I'm not a big fan of ELP that I don't like the "lead organ" formula, but who knows. If anything, they lost me when I heard their song 'Peace Frog'--er, 'California Flash'. Unless there is some reason behind it, it's the single most egregious piece of plagiarism I've ever heard.
