I think the sound is sounding a bit dated but at the same time it's a very nice smooth sounding kind of music. Basically well produced. I've not got ofay with the songs yet but I think i'm going to invest in some of the albums. There is a review of one of them that i've come across by Robert Christgau which is just about the most critical reveiw i've ever come across. The Alan Parsons Project: Eve [Arista, 1979] Musically, this is a step toward schlock that knows its name--a few smarmy melodies mixed in with the production values and synthesizer furbelows. Thematically, it's both sophomoric and disgusting--programmatic misogyny rooted in sexual rejections that were clearly deserved. Visually, it's sadistic--the three women on the Hipgnosis cover wear black veils that only partly conceal their scars, warts and blotches. What is it they stencil on street corners? Castrate art rockers? D

Deleted User	I grew up listening to Time so I don't think I can't listen to that song ever again but I still love with all my heart Eye in the sky. I don't care about anything else. This song is just one of the most beautiful ever. Don't think sorry's easily said Don't try turnin' tables instead You've taken lots of chances before But I ain't gonna give anymore Don't ask me That's how it goes Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin' Don't say words you're gonna regret Don't let fire rush to your head I've heard the accusation before And I ain't gonna take any more Believe me The sun in your eyes Made some of the lies worth believing Chorus: I am the eye in the sky Looking at you I can read your mind I am the maker of rules Dealing with fools I can cheat you blind And I don't need to see any more To know that I can read your mind, [looking at you] I can read your mind,[looking at you]i can read your mind [looking at you] i can read your mind Don't leave false illusion behind Don't cry, I ain't changin' my mind So find another fool like before Cause I ain't gotta live anymore Believin' Some of the lies While all of the signs are deceiving
