Although there are a few not so strong songs, this is one of their albums that is solid as a whole. The classics are: ''King Pest'' and ''Haunted Palace''.

What an album! Not a single weak song imo. One of my favorites of theirs as a whole piece. Every song is good-to-great. It has everything. The overall vibe is just epic and classic. The album has the mood/structure of the albums with Dio and I like that a lot.

Favorite songs: ''Jerusalem'' and ''Heaven In Black'' (Top 10 song imo).

Jealous!
To my knowledge, Soft Machine hasn't played here in Texas since 1960s!

The Tony Martin era of Black Sabbath is criminally underrated. Tyr is the best album of that era in my opinion.

Oh well, Soft Machine is an instrumental band. They usually are drums, bass, Electric piano, synthesizer, flute, sax… with guitar in some album.

The most famous album is 'Soft Machine Third' released in 1970. I like 'Seven' released in 1973. They have a fantastic album 'Bundles' from 1975 with Allan Holdsworth on the guitar. The last studio album 'Other Doors' from this year is very good. If you want a Live record from these years to get an idea what are you going to hear in the concert I recommend you Live at The Baked Potato from 2020. Anyway. It's Jazz, Lately Contemporary Jazz with Prog and fusion touches but you can have the feeling to hear Hawkwind sometimes. Their songs are very hypnotic too and can be boring if you're not usually like this kind of stuff.

One time I listened to that song: I've only listened to a few seconds of it and turned it off. Not only does it not seem like a good song, but it's not really a actual song; they took demo tapes from Lennon in the 70s and from George Harrison in the 90s, and then Mccartney and Starr recorded their parts in modern times. Also, although AI was used to try to make the lennon and harrison tapes fit into the quality of modern production, you can easily tell how out of place it is.

I see your point and agree when you put it that way. However, in the end I do like the end result for to me, it is an enjoyable listen.
