Still Stadium Rocking after all these years, here's something from the Omega album. You either like it or don't, but I have to admit that at least calling it Asia is still more marketable (at least in Italy) than Wetton, Howe, Downes, and Palmer. At least it's not as bad as Side One of ELPs Love Beach (The album that sold it's own Jogging Shorts!) - Not great, mind, but just saying...

ELP's Love Beach must rank as one of the worst albums ever recorded, I shuddder just thinking about it.

Listen to it again and you'll realize its even worse than you thought. The only other album by a critically acclaimed major player that was as bad as Love Beach was Clash's Cut the Crap.

I just listened to Side Two of Love Beach again. The first two parts are OK, but I must have been that forgiving when I first heard parts three and four. Actually, the Piano solos made me go back to something far more better...The Nice's Five Bridges Suite.

Cut the Crap at least had "This Is England." I'm still trying to find something good about the rest except for that it did dabble with some electronic sounds, but not too successfully.

Love Beach, however, had nothing as great as that in my opinion.

Both were bad, but they were at least making the best of a bad situation.

I feel like the whole album is just about "the one he loved" and it's ok if one song is like that, but every damn song? Really?

I bought Love Beach for 50 Cents recently, with the plastic and 99 cent price tag still on. I have to admit that it was worth it for the T-Shirt, Jacket, and Jogging Shorts flyer. I actually like a lot of ELP's albums, but that one was branded Cut Out before the mark down. The Officer and an Gentleman suite on Side Two was barely passable, but not much.

This went from discussing about Asia to throwing in something about The Clash. It's going all over the place! (Laughs!)
