Emerson, Lake & Palmer 'In The Hot Seat' (1994)
The final studio album from ELP followed the powerful and epic 'Black Moon' but suffered slightly from the same contractual-obligation-blues as 'Love Beach'. Keith Emerson was beginning to be affected by the crippling hand problems that would only get worse and Carl Palmer had also undergone surgery on his wrists - so much of the percussion is electronic kits and drum-machines. Greg Lake's singing voice is also noticeably lower register - becoming very similar to John Wetton's baritone, although both were more than capable of superb control and emotional projection right to the end.
That being said, 'In the Hot Seat is an accomplished album with strong songs, excellent production and recording (Keith Olsen) and it's main flaw is that it lacks the fire of early ELP, replacing that with a restrained professionalism. The live albums from this period do show that EL&P could still kick the proverbial ass when necessary, though.
In The Hot Seat - Emerson, Lake and Palmer
Verdict: not essential but not bad.
