With a couple of excellent records released in the previous two years you could have expected them to peter out like many of their contemporaries, but they had one more masterpiece coming. One band was an exception, still on their way up artistically and commercially in 1976. Punk was knocking at the door, and as any rock or pop sub-genre, the classic period of progressive rock seemed to run out of steam after five years. King Crimson was no more, at least for that decade. Genesis, Yes and Emerson, Lake and Palmer already released their best albums. Many of the bands at the genre’s top echelon were still touring, recording and releasing albums but for most, these albums did not rank among their best. 1976 was not the top year in the classic period of progressive rock, and arguably just outside of that golden era altogether.
