Three stars for "Progs" but a good Four Stars for rock fans.

What a surprise! I had avoided this album on the basis of poor reviews here and elsewhere but having finally bitten the bullet I've been pleasantly surprised by this. Its full of crunching riffs and excellent melodic songs which blend the AOR-orientated BOC of the 80's with the sound on their next album "Curse of the Hidden Mirror". Indeed, I'd say that Heaven Forbid is a more accessible and better album than Hidden Mirror.

Standout tracks for me are the opener "See You In Black" and "Damaged" (which has got a great groove) but very few songs come across as filler.

Good to have the Cult back...
