"This is a phenominal musical achievement. The amount of music these three individuals produced was extraordinary. The level of talent shown by Emerson, in particular, is unmatched to this day. But all three, including Lake and Palmer were superlative musicians. What you hear on this album encapsulates the musical brilliance of these three individuals. How they integrate classical compositions and turn them into their own unique statement with bravura performances by each astounds the ears to this day. I cannot think of another rock album which matches the level of musicianship shown by just three musicians. Honestly, if you don't like this album then you really have no appreciation for the stellar musicianship put on display. Emerson, Lake and Palmer should be enshrined foreever as musicians who came together to form one of the most unique and phenominal bands in rock music history. Each cut on this album shows how marvelous the band was both as band playing together and individually, with Greg Lake performing on guitar alone on some of his own beautific compositions."
