This album - one of the masterpieces of prog-rock. About the group itself does not need to say much - it's one of the "pillars" of progressive rock, along with Marillion, Pendragon, Jadis, etc. In this album you will find all that so prized prog rock: the complicated structure of the songs on a bright, memorable and beautiful melodies, great strong vocals, "smart", sensitive keys, and of course, a bright guitar.

This Album represents everything thats good, and bad about modern Progressive Rock. Whist the cover is fairly plain and not as recognisable as previous IQ album covers, featuring artwork designed by lead singer Peter Nicholls, everythig suggests that this album is all about the music. Representing a band at the top of their game, this album clocks in at just over 100mins which maybe too much for some, but repeat playing shows that, deciding where to make the edits was almost impossible. This line up of IQ, really work well together, featuring original lead singer and performer, Peter Nicholls, very much from the Peter Gabriel school of stagecraft, and Martin Orford, keyboard player extrordinaire, whom has toured with former King Crimson/Asia frontman, John Wetton,and returns to the group, from side-project band Jadis, as has Bassist, John Jowitt, two people that regularly guest on other projects and Concept albums. Completing the line up are stalwarts Mike Holmes on guitar, and Drummer, Paul Cook, two people that are considered to be 'The Engine Room' of the group. Ultimately, for fans of Prog rock, this is a must-have album, that your collection should not be without, and for music fans in search of something new, this is a great introduction to the group, however, its a long journey, so get comfortable!Read full review
