Album Notes & Community Reviews

Steering further away from the grandiose orchestration of their early progressive output, the British trio embraced polished, synthesizer-led pop-rock suited for the European stadium circuit. 'Turn of the Tide' focuses on concise, highly melodic songwriting, securing significant commercial success, particularly within the German market[cite: 1].
