3988. The Alan Parsons Project - Silence and I

From: Eye in the Sky; Year: 1982; Genre: Progressive Rock/Symphonic Rock

It's not true of me all the time, but as a rule if I'm sampling a record, (other than the hits or singles of course), I first go to the longest track and usually if I like it I'll like the other songs on the album. I feel that if an artist can go further than the standard less than 4 to 5 minutes and still keep it interesting then the rest of the music on the album is good as well; this is how it is with Eye in the Sky: after the title track I immediately went to this song and liked it, probably just as well as the main single. The multiple sections and use of both rock and orchestral instruments along with the amazing mournful vocals just makes just over 7 minutes of great music.
