X is a band that just doesn't do anything for me. I can't stand Y's voice and the lyrics are ridiculous.

This is a pedestrian attempt at proggressive rock and X were never worthy of the kudos handed to them. You can get much more out of a Yes album, even a lesser one.

X needs to be forgotten now! Still haven't heard anything including this album to make me a fan although I have a few friends that love them.

The same as ELP. Too pompous and too boring! Another catastrophe record. My favorite X album is their first! (while they still were in the psych wagon), but Z is the most boring piece of uninspired music I have ever heard after ELP's Tarkus.

Not anyone can make compositions that last over 20 minutes and not to get bored. Only Mike Oldfield, Can, Soft Machine and Hawkind could do such thing!

Not the X I like.
The folk parts are interesting, the rock parts are alternately trite and obnoxious.

Solve for X = band, Y = frontman and Z = album.

X= Jethro Tull
Y= I don't remember the name 🫢
Z= Thick as a Brick

OK, here's one that shouldn't be too hard:

The first thing I thought when I listened to this the first time was:
"That was it?"

I had already listened to plenty of ---'s other works such as ---, --- and ---. Comparatively, what a difference.

This album is bland in the worst way possible. It literally gives you nothing but a structureless and utterly boring and what-barely-counts-as ambiance. There is nothing to listen to here

It's rather badly recorded with obvious background noise. The chorus that shows up on --- and --- is just unpleasant to listen to, since it's been altered in a corny fashion to seem more 'ethereal'.

This is one of the first albums of its type made, but it's also one of the worst. There is absolutely no reason to listen to this because --- thankfully got really good at this later and released some amazing albums.

I cannot believe this is rated so high, especially since all of his other ambient releases are unmistakably more interesting.

This is an much more calm and canny work, than on its predecessors. Less heavy blues and rock sound, therefor a lot more of country and roots rock/folk atmosphere on this album. ******* returning to his beginnings with the recording of **********, obviously influenced and inspired by the companionship of fellow '*****' musicians around that time. An absolute highlight surely is '***********', covered by**********, which took it into the top 20 charts the following year. Other stand out tracks are the poetic '************', the critical and encouraging '*********', the piano driven '********, the impressive '********' and the country rock of '******'.
