Rated 6/10

Reading about this album's history and importance, I was expecting much more. I enjoyed the listening session, but it's far from something I can call a "good" album.

It contains the level of experimentalism in the fringe zone before becomes too strange and not enjoyable. I liked it, even though I'll probably forget it in some days.

It's not an album that I truly enjoyed listening to, but given its importance and the fact that I'm in a bit of a Miles Davis mood (it's the second album received in the same week), I should pay some respect. Creating a jazz genre is not something that happens every day.

Go easy! It's nice when rock bands decide to "test the water" of experimental stuff, but there is a thin line between being a genius and being a strange that sings alone yelling to the clouds with no one to pay attention to.

It's a nice album, but it becomes boring pretty fast after some repetition along the songs.

I got what they are trying to do here and they were successful, but there are so many others (better) doing the same thing that is harsh to highlight on the progressive/psychedelic 70s rock, mainly when the album was released almost 40 years after the 70s.

It was impressive to see that he was playing everything, but this did not improve how much I liked it, which was too little. It's generic and soulless, as if a big band of contractor musicians were playing it.

These people who write music are supposed to be good with words, so why is it so hard to understand the meaning of "short"? More than 1 hour is not short.

Let's state once and for all that your irony and/or sarcasm is not as good as you think it is. Never.

Annoying album with 1 or 2 highlights here and there.
