5 stars I think it's a fantastic piece, for me it's a new fresh wave into progrock. But of course album isn't completely progressive. Most of fans consider long compositions of marbles as best. And i have to agree with that. OCEAN CLOUD is phenomenal, it is fresh, progressive, very interesting (because of samples, melody and atmosphere) composition and i think it is one of best things they have done already.NEVERLAND and INVISIBLE MAN are fantastic too. I cannot really find words to describe how i love this three compositions. In comparison with new album of IQ they are genuine. This album is't silly neoprog with the same minimoog sounding keyboards, epic guitars and melodies. As i sad earlier it's sth new in prog. i have to say that i love first neoprogressive era (fish) of marillion but playing this kind of music for twenty years would be boring. And IQ proved that. So i think we should give chance for marillion because they are creating new sounds and don't stand in the same place as many of neoprog bands. Back to the album. I think that band shouldn't put songs like Genie, You're Gone on Marbles but anyway You can always change song if you don't like it. Other good pieces are The only unforgivable thing, Don't hurt yourself, Angelina, Drilling holes and Fantastic Place(exept guitar solo :/). Listen this album. This music can really give you pleasure
