Album Rating: 4.5

Agreed Mong. I think this and Close to The Edge are the only other prog records on sput with 4.6s averages besides Floyd, pretty impressive

To be honest Heritage hardly sounds anything like this. I'm sure there are other prog albums it sounds more similar to, not that I can think of any at the moment as it doesn't really sound like any particular prog band.

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

A Prog jewel.



On the very first song you can realise the wide range of instruments and effect that very well mixed among them thanks to a fine productions give to the album a fine Avant-Garde mark. Wind instruments are far from the rest of the instruments the leaders into this album, which can make you think in Folk roots when listening to it.



You can find the best possible intro on "Epitaph", a tuneful combination of slow tempo with strong instruments. First impression of delicate but firm lyrics "Knowledge is a deadly friend if no one sets the rules. The fate of all mankind I see Is in the hands of fools.” on Moonchild you appreciate the balance because it's the turn for the guitar with his smooth entry to lead the course of the song. Poetic lyrics that recalls the 60s because his remembrance of the anthropomorphic myth of feminine magic that moon has.



Not too much too said that hasn't been said before about "The Court", maybe throughout the years I just close my eyes and try to imagine the most intense red colour that I might have seen in my life to associate it with the court of the Crimson King, maybe that colour could be the red of "Metropolis" a paint by George Grosz.



In the end, musically for me this album deserves a 4.28/5 but having on mind the impact that it has in the history of Prog Rock it's impossible to deny its superb legacy: 4.5
