10 STORIES DOWN

And finally, we find what was the best album of the band up to that moment, surpassing all their previous attempts and finally reaching the level of quality that was already guessed in the three previous albums but that did not really materialize.

The album is not very progressive but it does offer us a dramatic, intense British indie-prog rock, with a very homogeneous quality in terms of composition, and it offered us classic songs that are still an essential part of the band's repertoire.

Fortunately, the group would continue to grow on successive albums until they reached the status they hold today, but "10 Stories Down" is a full-length with few flaws and without a doubt one of the best of their pre-Gavin Harrison era.

Highly recommended, especially for lovers of albums like "Lightbulb Sun" by Porcupine Tree or "A Fine Day to Exit" by Anathema!

Best Tracks: the first five songs are very good. After that, I especially like I Will Light Up Your eyes.

My Rating: ***
