5 stars What else can be said about the album? It's gorgeous. What I love about it is that I've never heard anything like it at all. I don't know if I would say it is as innovative as Larks' Tongues In Aspic. That album sounds like nothing else and this album seems to be a large large mash of influences. Maybe Larks' is just a mash up of influences as well, we just haven't heard the influence.

Toby Driver's guitar work is phenomenal here. He appropriately rejects normal root + 5th power chords and gets creative with his choice of harmony. The non-standard guitar tuning he's using is readily made for uncommon chords. Euphonium and trumpet are featured and add a surprisingly marvelous texture. I don't think I would change a single thing about the album. Listening to it is an incredible experience. Also- the album cover is great. As well as the song titles. The imagery the words carry match the music PERFECTLY. :)
