Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the massive commercial success of their previous records, this expansive effort was recorded between Ireland and Germany under the guidance of producer Jacknife Lee. The ambitious 16-minute closer, 'The Lightning Strike', highlights the group's willingness to push beyond standard radio-friendly formats.
