Yes, although I have to say, while I do admire Carl Palmer greatly, his âsideâ works least for me â not sure itâs the best showcase for him â the chosen tracks are not as impactful or as clear as they might be and it seems a bit muddly, IMHO! Maybe I should listen to that side again, tend to skip over it. The other three sides are great.
Itâs a less than cohesive whole, I feel, but that was never the point; there is definitely something to enjoy from all perspectives.
