Album Notes & Community Reviews
Continuing their audacious streak of multi-disc releases, the massive jazz-rock ensemble delivered their third consecutive double album. Expanding significantly on their signature horn-driven pop, the record delves deeply into complex, multi-part instrumental suites and incorporates prominent experimental, avant-garde textures. It captures the band at their most compositionally ambitious before entirely shifting toward mainstream pop accessibility.
