The World of Genius Hans

Though released in 1972, this album was recorded in December 1971, thus technically putting it within the magical time-frame of that peerless year of music. Perhaps I'm as big a fool as Malvolio, "and yet to crush this a little, it would bow to me". This album is genius, just like its predecessor, from the album art down to the silly little avant-prog notes, and what results is the perfect union of melody and complexity.

It's the same as their first, so minus for that. The complex drumming is still there, and the tightness throughout each song (especially the 14-minute opener) is remarkable, but the originality is missing, and that's a big thing for me. Maybe when I'm on a MGP binge?
