Album Notes & Community Reviews

The veteran British neo-prog outfit delivers one of the darkest, most conceptually menacing albums of their extensive career. Focused around themes of serial killers, psychological dread, and bleak cinematic atmospheres, the intricate compositions heavily emphasize brooding Mellotrons and Peter Nicholls' theatrical vocal delivery. It is widely considered a late-career masterpiece that revitalized their standing in the modern progressive rock scene.
