I do actually *like* "Trilogy" -- tho I guess I have a hard time finding reasons why. I like it in spite of itself I guess!
Here's my rundown on the ELP catalog for ya, using ratings on 0-10 scale:
ELP (self-titled) - 6 (actually sort of promising debut)
Pictures at an Exhibition - 1 (so awful it's almost in the "so bad it's good" category)
Tarkus - 5 (the side-long title song gets a gauche "9", the other side gets a "1")
Trilogy - 7 (reviewed)
Brain Salad Surgery - 4 (never thought much of this one)
Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends - 4 (the triple live album is not much worse than their studio work -- still haven't listened to the last two sides yet, "Karn Evil 9" that's why! It seems such a chore . . . but I MUST do it.)
Not heard "Love Beach" or the "Works" albums . . . YET!
