专辑介绍
by Bruce Eder
The group's first U.S. release in two years featured ornate playing from Kerry Minnear on keyboards and Gary Green's loudest guitar work up to that time. Power and the Glory is also a fairly dissonant album, yet it made the charts, albeit pretty low. There seems to be a unifying theme having to do with one's place in the social order, but it's very vague in contrast to Pink Floyd's re-creations of the post-'60s drug experience, Yes' sweeping album-length suites, and ELP's sci-fi epics. &No God's a Man& is an infinitely more challenging piece of music than anything on Jethro Tull's Aqualung, but that wasn't a commercial virtue; nor could the electric violin break on &The Face& or the rippling electric guitar passages throughout cover the effort involved in absorbing these songs. Power and the Glory vaguely resembled Genesis' early art-rock albums, but without any presence as charismatic as Peter Gabriel. &Playing the Game& and &So Sincere& were the most accessible tracks and ended up as key parts of their concert set. The CD's sound is more than decent.

- @克莱文杰：这是他们的第三张概念专辑，以权力和腐败为主题。这个概念的重点是个人，他想利用政治权力做好事。他发现自己倾向于滥用权力，就像所有前来的人一样。最后，他变成了他一直反对的东西。他像许多其他人一样成为腐败的人。
