The only complaint I have about Pyramid is that it's only 38 minutes long. Alan Parsons became my favorite group (if you could call them a group) after Pyramid. I bought the record album about a month after it was released in 1978. I thought it sounded good then. I listened to it on CD 20 years later on a lot better stereo and now think it is great. I bought Parsons records as soon as they came out. Starting with "Tales" through "Gaudi". They all sound good, and I know that many Parsons listeners won't agree but I think Pyramid sounds the best. His first three albums I think stand out from the ones that followed in their uniqueness. Pyramid has a remarkable beginning and takes you through an experience. "In the Lap of the Gods" is a song that sounds incredible at high volume. "One More River" and "Can't Take it With You" have related choruses and "Hyper-Gamma-Spaces" gives you a space rock feeling. The lyrics are thought provoking. This record has aged well, it doesn't have a "70's" sound. It can't be associated with any decade. Alot of thought and effort went into Pyramid, its one of the best albums I've ever heard.

"Pyramid" is so incredible! When released in 1978, I was already an APP fan. First hearing "I Robot" (possibly my favorite album of all time) upon it's release (1977), I was hooked on the APP. I then heard "Tales Of Mystery and Imagination - Edgar Allan Poe". To me; 3 of the greatest albums ever recorded - period! It is a damn shame, "I Robot" was (and is) not regarded for the masterpiece it truly is. Better than "Dark Side..." in my opinion. But hey!, it's all personal preference. "Pyramid" is very special. Possibly the last 'Great' entire album by Alan Parsons, at least in the conceptual manner. The instrumentals are tight, with super orchestration. The vocals are, as always, excellent. The Project's vocalists are unparalleled in the industry. They shine on this 1978 album. If I remember correctly, this was my favorite release of that year! I never grow tired of this album - never! It is a timeless classic. Funny thing is, I even read the book "Pyramid Power" some time later. If you don't own this album - it's time.

Over the years this has become my favorite album of Alan Parsons!!! The only problem is its under 40 minutes long !!! Heres something somebody pointed out to me on the song Can't Take It With You hear the backing vocals singing One More River!!! From the opening track to the finish just sit back and enjoy a truly great album it doesn't get better than this !!!!

Pyramid is nothing short of a masterpiece.
But the Egyptian overtones and pyramid motif is just a surface, a tangible stage set, if you will. Read more

"I'm just a humble servant with a message here for you"
This is a beautiful work. Intelligent and full of mystery. It wears it's many influences on it's sleeve, Beatles, Floyd and Moody Blues to name a few.

"Immaculate"
Definitely at the top of the APP concept album pyramid (pun intended), nothing but praise can be said for the album. It is indeed immaculate. Read more
