5 stars I can't believe I haven't rated this album yet. I love it. This is such a great album. I adore the voice of Annie Haslam, the piano from John Tout, and the bass from Jon Camp. But it is all so good.

The intro from Can You Understand alone, is brilliant. But so is the rest of the song. 10/10

Some hate Let It Grow. But I see it as a ten out of ten. Whenever you are down, you only need to listen to this to be up again. What a voice, what a hopeful message. 10/10

On the frontier is another superb track. The flow of this one, the piano, the harmonies, the bass. 10/10

Carpet of the Sun is another gem. Again such a hopeful message and the arrangements are so fine 9/10

At the Harbour is my least favorite track, but I still love it to bits. 8/10

Ashes are Burning is a great closer. Annie Haslam is a goddess. But the guitar and the closing drums are marvelous too. 9.5/10

I am so fond of this album. It is one of the best records I know. So it's easily a 5 out of 5.
