To anyone who has derogatorily and incorrectly defined the Bee Gees (and there are many) as a disco phenomenon, listen to this CD and realize what true fans have come to embrace about the group. The music and lyrics are lush, complex...the harmonies and arrangements, simply beautiful.
Though this concept album was riddled with production/creative issues that resulted in a less than ideal conceptual release, there remains a cohesive element that makes it a success nonetheless. Several reviewers have commented that some of the tracks were not conceptual and were added to the album more or less as filler, resulting in a "missing element" feel to the album. For me, this has added to the mystery and mood of the album: (i.e., why would a shipwrecked sailor think about "Edison"...why not??).
Whatever the history of this album, it is a masterpiece and in a class by itself. It achieves a beautiful yet melancholy mood that makes you feel like you are living in the sea-faring past of old England, each song a voyage in itself.
