LATER THAT EVENING

I'm writing this review as a realization just struck me, regarding this album: it may be Eberhard's best in terms of artistry, composition, and realization of a vision. There is a conversation to be had at the least. Previously I would have ranked it (except for "Death in the Carwash," strange creature that it is) just below the entire Colours (and THE FOLLOWING MORNING) catalogue, but its consistent level of achievement and integrity struck me tonight. He has albums I like more (though not by much), albums with certainly better tracks (again, however, the margin is narrow), but as an Artistic Statement...the coherence of the group, the individual tracks, the compositions and arrangements, the FEEL of the album...it is only surpassed by perhaps THE COLOURS OF CHLOË and PENDULUM. Perhaps.

It is mysterious and challenging, clear and direct, accessible and welcoming. I feel the lineup are all playing on the same wavelength to a degree we didn't get since the best moments of YELLOW FIELDS, and because of that, Eberhard's compositions -among his best, by the way- truly shine.

Enough gushing - perhaps it is the accompaniment by Two- Hearted Ale, but... consider my 4 stars a hot take and "rage bait" - LATER THAT EVENING deserves 5 stars, but I'm not sure it belongs to prog.
