See (album)
See is the fifth studio album by the British progressive rock band The Alan Parsons Project, released in 1978. It is a concept album that explores themes of clairvoyance and different methods of perception, both literal and figurative.
The album's title, a simple and direct word, reflects the central theme of vision and understanding. It features several tracks that are notable for their musical complexity and lyrical depth, characteristic of The Alan Parsons Project's work. These include:
- "Sirius" (instrumental opening track, often associated with sports events)
- "Eye in the Sky" (the album's most commercially successful single, featuring lead vocals by Eric Woolfson)
- "Silence and I" (a track that combines orchestral arrangements with rock elements)
See continued the band's exploration of philosophical and psychological themes, following in the footsteps of their previous albums. It was a critical and commercial success, solidifying The Alan Parsons Project's reputation as a prominent act within the progressive rock genre. The album's artwork, like many of the band's releases, is notable for its visual design and connection to the album's concept.
