Progressive Rock, Art Rock

Pictures of a City slaps, the original 'A Man, A City' was my favourite bonus track from the expanded ITCotCK. The instrumental break slaps although it is a bit 21st Century Schizoid to its discredit. I can't believe Ice Spice would get her name from the second verse of this song. Cadence and Cascade is very beautiful, nothing much to say about it other than its very " : ) "

In the Wake of Poseidon makes a grand entrance and it fulfils, Greg Lake's vocals go so hard on this and the instrumentals are so imposing. Cat Food I don't really know how to feel about because when I first heard it it was a dislike but it's grown on me and probably the most memorable song on the album as it's quite cat-chy.

The Devils Triangle is neat, I. Merday Morn stresses me out in a cool way II. Hands of Sceiron is giving cats on toy instruments gif at parts and there is a lot going on but it works. III. Garden of Worm has a nice name, there is something about it that makes me smile. It's like part 2 but just more.

All three sections of Peace are so sweet, love how it bookends and breaks up the album. "You look everywhere but inside you" is a really nice quotes
