A one-time project by the "Emerson" and "Palmer" of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, with some loser named Robert Berry on bass/vocals. I guess the name "3" sounded better than "EBP", huh? No matter, it wouldn't have helped...this album is totally shameless pop-trash that makes Love Beach seem excellent by comparison. Ok, the song "Talkin' Bout" is quite good, as far as shameless pop goes, and a few keyboard riffs in "Desde La Vida" are mildly interesting. Only reason I bought the damn thing was because it was $2.99 and I figured I might as well own it, being the obsessive fruitcake that I am...

And I really shouldn't bag on Robert Berry so much, he DOES do a mean version of "Minstrel in the Gallery" on the Jethro Tull tribute album; as well as "Karn Evil 9" on the ELP tribute album.
