"666" (subtitled The Apocalypse of John, 13/18) is the third and final studio album and only double album by Greek progressive rock band Aphrodite's Child, released in June 1972 by Vertigo Records. An ambitious double-LP concept album, ostensibly an adaptation of Biblical passages from the Book of Revelation, "666" was composed by keyboardist Vangelis and lyricist Costas Ferris.
The Rolling Stone Record Guide dismissed "666" as "pompous and pointless". Colin Larkin's Encyclopedia of Popular Music states that "the album was applauded for its ambition and execution", but it did not attract many contemporary reviews. AllMusic gives it 4½ stars, but notes that "the entire set eventually becomes too overwhelming to sit through".
IGN ranked the album number 3 on their list of Top 25 Prog Rock Albums. In the Q & Mojo Classic Special Edition ‘’Pink Floyd & the Story of Prog Rock’’, the album came number 40 in its list of "40 Cosmic Rock Albums". From Wikipedia
