Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded at the Ch芒teau d'H茅rouville in France to escape British tax laws, the band slightly tempered their dense, fantasy-driven progressive epics for a more streamlined rock approach. Despite the stylistic pivot, the enduring success of the acoustic-driven single 'Stealin'' ensured the album remained a commercial triumph.
