4 stars Wooow! Talk about an hard album to get into, this was my second KC album after the debute and i dont think i culd have picked a worse album as my second KC album then this. It took me a very long long time to get into and understand this, might awell be one of the hardest albums ever for me and still tough i think i have got most of it today some years later i cant realy say i keep finding new stuff with every lisen end keeps growing on me, everyone say that Yes Tales is a hard one, that one was no problem at all compared to this one. Anyway now i think i can safely say that this is a very good KC album surely not the one for the KC beginer to be honest this is one of the last one you shuld get when your realy familar with thiere other ones but if you like a good chalange this is it. The style is hard rock with lots of improvisation violins and crazy drum sounds my favorite songs are Exiles and the Larks tougnges in aspic suit the other songs are good but drag the album down a bit from the masterpice status most other gives it. a good KC album 4 stars however start with the debut, in the wake of poisedon, Islands and Red after thos you might be ready for thisd album and its follow up Starless ansd bilbe black which follows the same patern as this one. I whuld allso gues that Lizard is close to this album in hardness to get into but i bought it after this one so i never hade any real problem with it. However the album is no doubt an excellent addition to any prog music collection a album you simply must hear. And Wetton is a great singer / bassplayer.
