Nice review - I own the reissued version of Argus.
I agree that Argus is a complete prog classic, even if it isn't that proggy and more hard rockish. And yeah, the rhythm section is actually more prominent on other albums, although it's decent on Argus too. But overall, it's their best album.
My favourite bit of the album is the dual leads in the second half of Throw Down the Sword - absolutely musicgasmic.
