Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerson, Lake & Palmer expanded their dizzying classical-rock fusion with a cleaner, highly polished studio aesthetic that elevated their dazzling musicianship. 'Trilogy' is a wonderfully playful, fiercely technical symphonic prog classic, blending incredibly complex, rapidly shifting time signatures with wildly energetic, deeply passionate epic suites.
