Tales and I Robot are the only 70's releases worth listening to.
Sublime production/sound engineering. Alan and Quincy Jones are probably the best producers of the last century.

Notrap lives! Good to see you around! Have you tried Turn of a Friendly Card? And especially Eye in the Sky...? It's enough to make you forget about their bad albums.
Edit; Ammonia Avenue has its standouts too, such as the t/t, ''Don't Answer me'' and ''You Don't Believe''

I'm still here my friend Jethro. Good to see you keep proggin' hard.
Yes, I have. I've been listening to their discography chronologically up to Ammonia Avenue these past few weeks.
Turn of the Friendly Card is much better than Pyramid or Eve. Eye in the Sky is also interesting, however I need to listen to it more carefully, to have a more solid opinion.
The element that all albums have in common is the superior production value.

Yeah, no need headphones to hear all the sound crystal clear. No lost notes to be found in their music.
I think I'll have to spin them all again to see if my ratings would not change.
Eye in the Sky is not perfect, but overall it's a great listen. ''Gemini''(2 min) and ''Step by Step''(too pop) are the weakest links for me, but they're not bad either.

First side is really good but doesn't feel like Poe at all. I won't just judge it from how well it depicts the atmosphere of his stories, obviously, but if that was the aim of the album, it failed. The songs are too light, and yes, The Raven is a good song in itself, but "nevermore, nevermore, neeeeva" doesn't exactly fit the mood of the poem, like, at all. But, like I said, ignoring the source material it's good, and it also flows well from one song to the other. Also, the way several motives come together at the end of the side is very satisfying.
Fall of the House Usher, on the other hand, sounds like a fifteen minute intro. Shame, since the story it's inspired by is my second favorite Poe novella (my favorite is The Black Cat)

I think the point of the album is to take Poe's work from a different perspective
Otherwise "lighter" bands could never take influence from "darker" sources

Hm, I get what you are saying, but Poe is one of those cases where making it lighter kinda makes it pointless because he relied so much on the dark atmosphere and gothic feeling
