Thanks Intruder. Maybe you're right, but I preferred to highlight the the great highlight og the album. The rest is also excellent but I think they don't needed to be so highlighted. Besides, perhaps no one saw that already, but all my reviews have the same precise size. I don't want that the readers can be bored writting too much or be less efficient writting too less. So, I had no more space to write more. As you can see, I'm a very meticulous person, lol.

Anyway, thanks for your comment and sugestion.

Are you saying that seriously man. I never heard that and I never thought that. That is to be really very precise. Congratulations, it seems that you never leave anything to chance. I am very impressed.

I'm not joking, Intruder. I'm very serious about that. I always thought that we need to have some discipline in work. You can see with your eyes if you compare all my reviews. Perhaps you're admired because I'm a Latin person. But my methods of work have nothing to do with the Latin Culture. I'm more disciplined, in the vein of the Northern countries.

''Parallels'' really weakens the album, guys. What a mess. Arguably the worst song of their golden era.

I agree that it sounds like a pastiche of many layers but I think that the middle section really saves the day

"Parallels" is a heavy organ driven number perhaps with echoes of Uriah Heep. It has a very good bass part played along with drums. This is a bombastic track with great great Hammond organ and Swiss Church organ performances by Wakeman. Usually I considered this the weakest track on the album, but the great work of Wakeman put it in the same level of the rest of the album. Besides, it has a nice melody too.

I'm with Jethro on this one, definitely. There are sections in that song where the organ drowns out everything else. They should have considered the grandeur and feedback of the sound of an organ and seen that it doesn't work in the context of a full band rock song. The organ part in Close to the Edge is amazing because it is given the room to unfold, but in this case, it just feels like that one instrument basically destroys every other sound. So unpleasant to listen to for me.

As I said I can agree with that but I will always defend the part from 2:55 onwards.

I couldn't say it clearer, RikRoach. Wakeman or not, the organ spoils it all. Anderson also gets on my nerves in most of the song. It sounds rushed and half baked.



@Sab, yes, maybe it gets more ''harmonious'' after 3 min, but the damage was done.



@e21; Squire jams hard on his bass, but then again, it sometimes doesn't seem to fit well with the rest, like if he went solo all the way through. It's the most interesting instrument in the song, agreed, but all the instruments are so compact and layered, it's hard to breathe. Drums are ok. I just don't like the way he enters into the song, and he pretty much stays in his comfort zone.
