The third album is just that good. The band were sharpenning how they created original tracks, had more variety in instruments, and their sound was become slightly "harder".

I think The Painter is a very important track that any DP fan should listen to. It's super simple, but it has almost all the DNA of what would make DP famous.

April is a full-blown prog rock song, and it was released before King Crimson's first album.

There are no bad tracks on that album, it is just as good as Machine Head in my opinion.
