"A rock opera spread over two albums (1973's Preservation Act 1 and its sequel from the following year), Preservation concerns the machinations of the evil Mr. Flash to take over the lives of the nice, ordinary people. Opposing him is the shady Mr. Black, with various characters caught in the middle."
- AV Club
