Procol Harum - Grand Hotel

Year Released: 1973
Genre: Progressive Rock, Symphonic Rock
Description: "Grand Hotel" is Procol Harum's seventh studio album, known for its opulent and theatrical sound. It features lush orchestral arrangements and choral backing, moving further into a more symphonic rock territory compared to their earlier, more psychedelic-tinged work. Lyrically, the album often explores themes of decadence, nostalgia, and social commentary with a characteristic sardonic wit. Key tracks include the title track "Grand Hotel" and "A Souvenir of London." It's considered one of their more ambitious and well-produced albums, showcasing Gary Brooker's distinctive vocals and Chris Copping's organ work.
