Poor Love Beach...always gets a bad rap. You just can't compare it to Tarkus or BSS or Works etc. For what it was intended to be it does a fine job. The pop tunes are catchy, Greg is in very fine vocal form, Keith plays some of his best, most romantic piano, and Carl just kills it at every turn--some of his very best playing in the ELP catalogue imho. Listen with an open mind and enjoy...
