Prog Album of the Week - Week 81 (05/02/2015): Camel - Nude

As always, we encourage participation from everyone - if you've never heard the album, there's a YouTube link provided! Go check it out and report back!

Welcome to the eighty-first week of r/progrockmusic's Album of the Week! Last week we discussed IQ's The Wake and that was lovely.

If you'd like to peruse previous weeks' discussions, please visit the archive.

Some more 80's stuff, this one from a "classic" prog band. It's always interesting to see how the classics of prog rock would transmogrify to fit the needs of the 80s.

####Potential Discussion Questions:

• So it's 1981 and Camel has solidified itself as a quiet and unassuming powerhouse of prog and the Canterbury Scene. How does this stuff compare to their "classic" output?

• How would you personally rate the album?

• Are there any moments on the album you consider particularly strong or particularly weak (i.e., favourite/least favourite moments)?
