Customer Reviews:

The last great ELP album..........2007-02-07

This is Emerson, Lake, and Palmer's last great album. It was the first one by the original trio since Love Beach. Black Moon doesn't match their heyday from 1969-1974, but it's still consistently good and focused. The title track, Paper Blood, and Affairs of the Heart are standouts here. I saw them on this tour, and they were really good. Emerson and Palmer were really into the concert (Emerson destroying his organ, and Palmer's drum solo got a standing ovation...when does that happen!). Lake's voice has gotten deeper here, but it hadn't deteriorated to what it is today. It isn't as ambitious or as intricate as Tarkus, Brain Salad Surgery, or Welcome Back, but it's still pretty good. You can really appreciate this album considering the follow up, In the Hot Seat, was a royally screwed up mess (Lake and Emerson not getting along, Emerson suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, Lake's voice fading away), that this album is a masterpiece by comparison. After ELP's heyday, they pretty much self destructed, due to the usual rock star garbage (drugs, egos, tired of the road). They broke up rather acrimoniously in 1997, so future reunions and albums are out of the question, so enjoy the last great studio album they ever did.

PAPER BLOOD: BRILLIANT COMMENT ON CONSUMERISM.......2004-11-12

ELP reunite and deliver their magnum opus. This album features instant classics like "Black Moon" and the incomparable "Paper Blood". Greg Lake's bass work on the latter is amongst the best ever recorded, and coupled with his soaring vocals and keyboard wizardry from Keith Emerson it makes for a formidable piece of socially conscious rock. Carl Palmer's contribution to the album is also not to be overlooked; the core of ELP is as powerful as ever. The album is a joy to listen to, but the live performances on the "Live at the Royal Albert Hall" DVD take the tracks from Black Moon to stratospheric heights. Both this album, and the aforementioned DVD are HIGHLY recommended to ELP fans, as well as the musically ignorant.

wasted potential.......2004-02-26

One of the most creative and important groups of the 70's produced blah pop in the 80's and 90's.
