Aphrodite's Child - 666

 Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, we are reviewing the third and last album from Aphrodite's Child, 666. Now despite the very evocative title, it does not have links to Satanism or the spread of the worship of evil. Quite the opposite, it actually contains verses from The Book of Revelation, a.k.a. The Final Book Of The New Testament. Now that I have got that out of the way, this record is the band's most critically acclaimed, and for good reason. Let's talk about why it is. We open on a choir chanting "We found The System". Then we transition into Babylon, an acoustic rock song, with a very groovy feel to it, accompanied by some crowd screaming. A very nice song to be sure. We turn to a calmer demeanor, with Loud, Loud, Loud, featuring a young boy narrating about the day the world will stop.

Pink Floyd - Obscured By Clouds

  Welcome back everyone to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing Pink Floyd's Obscured By Clouds. Not that many people talk about this album, as it is sandwiched inbetween Meddle and TDSOTM. But, hey! We have to get through it if we wanna reach The Big 4. We start the album rather weakly with the title track, it's a slow guitar driven song, with little substance to it. The drums aren't anything special either. Really mediocre track. The next song is When You're In, which is, unfortunately, another mediocre track. Little to no substance at all. Burning Bridges was much better, featuring the first vocals of the album, and a slow, but groovy feel to it. The guitar sounded so nice on this track and drums were surprisingly soothing. A great song overall, also love the guitar solo towards the end. The Gold It's In The... was a really classic rock song. Just epic rock. That's all. Next we have Wots... Uh The Deal was a calm track. Nothing much to say. Classic Pink Floyd...
