4 stars I went from hating Peter Hammill's voice so much that I found VdGG unlistenable to realizing that I knew their entire discography like the back of my hand (pardon the cliché). This album, I think, is responsible for that. I'd say it's my favorite of their albums, but I can't tell why. I've got a few guesses, though. It might be the incredible atmosphere of the record. Or perhaps it's the lyrics? Could be the heavy and punchy musicianship. Maybe the muddy production makes it feel authentic and real? Look, man. For all I know, it could very well be that the only reason I even like this album is the album cover, but I don't care. The point is I really like it and find myself listening to it a lot more than I ever thought I would. Do yourself a favor, and listen to VdGG. Yeah, you might hate it at first like I did, but if you like prog, eventually it'll click. And hey, if it doesn't, what the hell are you doing on this website, anyway?
