Besides all this, the proceedings are splendid on the production side of things as well: Alan Parsons, fresh off Pink Floyd's DSOTM, was behind the reins of this particular carriage, and the results are irrefutably grand.

Searching for an American prog. album that can rival the U.K.'s best? Have at ye!
Adding it to the OP You know what to do!

Edit :

Also made a thread for Harmonium's album which was homework for week 34!
