Their third from 1971.
Grandiose, melodramatic, & dark, this is a fairly strongly-flavoured Prog album. The use of Sax throughout brings early-70s King Crimson to mind, and lo & behold Robert Fripp (KC mainstay) guests on guitar.
Daft time signatures prevail, but this is a strong enough album to succeed despite that, and this is the best/worst of Prog Rock (depending on your viewpoint...).
Interesting piece of work.
AllMusic 4/5 stars.
