In a comparison with the crap that such a flying today around the ears, this album deserves smooth 5 Stars. With the ideas that stuck in a Marillion album, most other Künster would publish at least 10 Albem. Unfortunately, Marillion has but to compare themselves to put up with, and therefore, unfortunately, I can only give 4 stars because the album in my opinion, is not innovative enough. I have at least the impression of having heard a lot of elements in the songs nicely once former Marillion albums. This assessment may also the song "Gaza" to change anything that is overrated in my eyes by most Rezensoren. For me, the song has too many lengths and could be good 3-4 minutes shorter. Then it would be a blast. So hold "Gaza" a comparison with z. B. "This Strange Engine" or "Ocean Cloud" not stand.
Conclusion: If you want to just really listen to good music, this album should increase in any case. Those looking for the comparison with previous works About Marillion, should hang up the old disks rather equal. Anyway, I'm glad that now matter how ingenious music is produced and am therefore glad that this album enriched my music collection.
