Following the Styx-thread, I think the following albums are in fact a step-down, but they receive more credit than they deserve, thanks to the surrounding masterpieces:
- The Moody Blues - A Question Of Balance. I have high regards for all the other so-called 'Classic 7' albums, but next to the title-track, this one leaves me cold. I think it's a mess, and I don't like the production.
- Eloy - Power and the Passion. One good track.
- Styx - Pieces Of Eight
- Mike Oldfield - QE2 (although Platinum wasn't good too, but Five Miles Out and Crises are)
- Riverside - ADHD. I love the new album and the EP, and all the albums before. This has long tracks, but it just gives me an headache.
- The Pineapple Thief. Something Here is Missing and All The Wars. Bruce should never have gone to KScope.
