Monstrously huge-sounding LP that ####ing POUNDS! Yet is perfectly delicate when called upon. And nobody and I mean nobody can sing like Brad Delp did, may he rest in peace. The vinyl itself is whisper-quiet. -
An all-analog recording with no synthesizers! Tom and the Boys could make some beautiful music. Great recording...on all their records.
