I have a friend who claims it's the most genius thing on the album.  |
I just don't understand how anyone could just sit back and listen to a 10 minute long tirade of aimless rattle AND enjoy it.

Most if not all tracks are love songs and most are quite short aside from the "epic" track on it, the 20 minutes long "Memoirs of an officer and a gentleman". The whole album is a bit mushy I guess, which I don't think really works for ELP.

Yeah I do admit I'm a little curious. I'll probably end up listening to it eventually. Thanks!

Because that would make you a lot older than the rest of us, no offense.  |
Hahaha, yeah I meant I watched it on youtube, sorry about the confusion, I kind of assumed it was taken for granted. I'm 17! >.>
