We're living in dystopia but we don't care because we're just "free" enough.

I apologize that I have little more to add, but I just finished playing a gig with my band and it's late and I have to work tomorrow so I am in stream of consciousness mode right now having just listened to this amazing relic from the somewhat distant past, and this made me realize that there's certain pieces of music from my life's soundtrack that I can't listen to without somehow feeling the disocncerting history, and not because of some sort of association with a personal experience, but just because of how different things were when these songs came out. For example, I can't hear "In the court of the crimson king" the same way anymore after seeing the film "Children of Men."

does this make any sense to anyone else?

Anyway, this seminal album is a masterpiece and it kind of illustrates my point.
