Picked up "Radical Action to Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind".

Why does so much of it sound more like Jazz than Rock or Prog Rock?

It is....but prog rockers have a tendency to get Jazzy in their older age.

And a Floyd Rose on a Les Paul?? Blasphemy.....

Young Greg Lake was a hotie. Old Greg Lake, not so much. Dead Greg Lake...well.

Cool album. Cool tunes. Weird title.

I can't stand them but they are a huge influence on Tool.

Agreed, though Fripp might be the only person to get a pass.
