The shorter, tightly composed pieces by the M.O. were often quite good, but the long wailing solos and jams were often boring and indulgent to my ear. I found early Al DiMeola to be more focused and tasteful.
It was the age of the rock n roll dinosaurs, and M.O. should take their share of the blame. On the other hand, we can thank fusion and the like for some of the fine musical genres that were born as a reaction to it.
