Where this album fits

Career context
Released on June 5, 1970, 'Home' was Procol Harum's fourth studio album, following their commercially successful 'A Salty Dog.' At this point in their career, the band was solidifying their reputation for blending rock with classical influences, moving away from the psychedelic sounds of their earlier work as they embraced a more mature, reflective style.
