Reviewing 'Armageddon' by P.L.J. Band || Day 323/365

Doctor Who for life, really.

Welcome to 365 Days of Prog! The series in which I undertake the daunting task of listening to and reviewing 365 musically progressive albums throughout the year of 2022.
The list is made up of albums which were recommended to me by various people as their favorite albums.

Happy listening,

New to me! This is definitely the sort of thing that gets record collectors all a-flutter - it's rare, it's trippy, it's got a really distinctive album cover... Sadly, I also found it to be distinctly average. Like, it's not bad by any means, but it's for the most part pretty bog standard space rock without much of a USP (to me at least). It's not as heavy as Hawkwind, not as fun as Gong, not as ambitious as Pink Floyd... It definitely succeeds on its own terms, but it's not an album I could see myself coming back to. Maybe if I had the benefit of incense I'd have knocked it up to an 8 as well!

Edit: And yes, Doctor Who for life! What's been your favourite Classic era story so far?
