REVIEW
“Imagine that, a cat that stepped into some pretty big shoes and did it on chops rather than an appearance on “America Idol”? What will they think of next? From elbowing his way into ELP to becoming a prog-rock mainstay on his own, Berry appreciates being one of the “Lucki(est) Men” of the time and kicks out the jams on this 30 year celebration spread over two discs and a DVD of the event. A real top liner set with solid cats on board that really shakes off any dust on the genre, the tunes reach across the generations so well you don’t have to be a geezer to dig it. Progalicious throughout.” Chris Spector of The Midwest Record

”…this is some of Robert Berry’s finest work to date” – Prof Stuart Chambers
Third Impression,” the follow up to 3.2’s debut album, “The Rules Have Changed,” is a fine match for its predecessor. It mixes epic songs, such as album opener “Top Of The World” and closing song “Never”, the latter co-written by Robert with Emerson, with more melodic and AOR moments.
“…. with “Never”, the final song that Keith and I worked on, weighed heavily on me,” Robert explains. “It was as if my friend was still here as we had this song unreleased to the world. It was a big and powerful piece of music, but was too long to fit on “The Rules Have Changed”. However, the more I listened to it, the more it brought me back to the many conversations Keith and I had about style and where 3’s sound may have headed.”
” I love this album. Upon my first complete listen, this feels like Robert’s richest collection of music yet…” Ben Stein

The special includes Limited Edition Vinyl LP, Signed By Robert Berry. Only a few of these remain available.

The final project undertaken by Keith Emerson before his death has emerged as “The Rules Have Changed”, a new album by his colleague Robert Berry under the name 3.2. The title refers back to 3, the short-lived group in which Berry, Emerson and the latter’s former ELP bandmate Carl Palmer collaborated in the late 1980s.
In 2015, after plans were hatched to release that uncompleted album, Berry and Emerson started to discuss the idea of a new 3 record. “Keith and I developed together a vision of what the new album would be like,” says Berry. The new album consists of some original 3 writing from 1988, some newly written final effort collaborations with Keith Emerson, and some songs written exclusively by Berry after Keith’s death.”

“I have heard the entirety of ‘The Rules Have Changed,’ the 30-years-in-the-making follow-up to 3 (Emerson, Berry, Palmer)’s ‘3 to the Power of 3.’ It is absolutely superb. It’s an expertly-executed and performed album that takes the spirit of the first ‘3’ release and propels it into edgier and more adventurous territory while retaining the melodic qualities of its predecessor. ….The only thing to do is listen to the results for yourself”.
