I saw this on vinyl in an antique shop and almost bought it solely due to the cover, but I didn't. Did i make a mistake?

Yes

That’s not Thick as a Brick

Rock musicians aren't real musicians.

Prog may as well be bastardized Jazz, not rock

Then who, pray tell, ARE "real" musicians in your oh-so-patrician eyes?

one of the worst prog 'classics' btw.

ELP are the pinnacle of everything wrong with prog
good album though

No, it's rock.

I only really enjoy their debut (oh and the song Tarkus isn't that bad I guess)

Okay OP, I'm listening to it right now for the first time on youtube.
So far I must conclude the first track, which is an awfully shitty version of the hymn Jerusalem with cheesy sounding synths and a dude who can barely sing. honestly sounds like my mate dave's cover band who plays in local bars on sunday in exchange for a six pack of lager.

hopefully the rest will be better than the opener.

I can only presume the first track was a joke. The second sounds somewhat better but is pretty much run-of-the-mill progy sounding noodling with nothing else going on. It's not awful but I there's nothing special about this. However, there are some interesting synth sounds this otherwise dull track. Maybe the rest will be better.

It was the pinnacle of prog rock album covers for sure.

God, I miss you so much, Giger.

Surely you're mistaken?

Since when does Rock play in odd time signatures?

no, king crimson's debut was the pinnacle, but this one is very good.

so, you are all aware of this penis in the center of the album cover, right? inside the halo, below the chin...

the text is close to the edge
