I must admit that I have never understood why this album is so respected. The instrumental work is pretty strong but I find these compositions to be very mediocre symphonic prog pieces. Their sound is also pretty damn unoriginal.

I remember when I gave this album a listen for the first time. I had pretty huge expectations about it because I enjoy many symphonic prog groups from the UK and Italy for example. However the album turned out to be a disappointment. Maybe I just expected too much from it. While Stained Glass Stories is not a totally bad record it's also one of the most overrated prog rock albums of the 70's in my opinion.By ladislav zivanovic'/+EDUCATING MUSICALLY...!!!/+///+///++I have no copyright or copyright for this album, unless the administration,you tube considers that I have violated the copyright will be deleted and removed from my channel, my respect and thank you!!!/
