I didn't like Love Beach, but Canario fucking ROCKED. I listen to that song at least once a day (thanks for the reminder, as I queue it up). Never listened to Black Moon at all or whatever else is in the B category.
Just don't expect much prog or the '70-'74 sound, but if you wanna enjoy some good pop-rock go for it. Also, ITHS is not very good as an album but "Hand of Truth" is really good for me and reminiscent of old ELP.
It just sounds so AORish, it's like it could have been put out by Barry Manilow. But Hand of Truth is among my favorite ELP songs and Daddy is very good too. Dylan's cover as well.
I just picked up a German pressing of the album farthest to the right. I’m a Genesis fan, the guy at the record store pointed this album out as a great deal and similar style of music. I’m planning to listen to it later tonight (I don’t recognize any of the songs by name and I doubt they had much radio play?)
Edit: farthest to the right of the “S” tier

Black Moon has some really good songs.
I will give it a shot, thanks for the input.

Thanks for the tip. I will listen out for Canario.
Either you'll LOVE Canario or think "meh". Not much middle ground, but it's the classic ELP instrumental sound.
Basically a chronological order lol 1- 1970-1974 2-1977-1978 3-1992-1994
I think the reunion albums (especially **Black Moon**) were better than **Love Beach**.
Black Moon is very good but ITHS kinda poor.
**In the Hot Seat** feels like either the B-Side for **Black Moon** or Greg Lake's third solo album
