This Strange Engine

Stepping away from grand, overarching concept albums, the British neo-prog veterans opted for a more relaxed, acoustic-leaning approach on their ninth studio effort. Characterized by lush, highly melodic pop-rock arrangements and Steve Hogarth's earnest, sentimental vocal delivery, the album concludes with an emotionally devastating, autobiographical fifteen-minute title track.
