I was rather determined to listen to all of the nominations in their entirety before voting this round. OK, so a couple of the albums have made that an impossible pledge to live up to but hey, at least I'm trying. 

One of the advantages of encroaching senility is that I quite readily forget who I voted for in previous rounds but from vague memory I think I gave Frequency a positive in the first round and a ho hum in the second. Maybe the ho hum was a bit harsh, maybe not. I reckon that if I had found them in 1981 I might well have become a fan but I didn't and now their music kind of washes off rather than washes over. It all feels just a bit forced. Oh yes, and maybe this is all that Collins (or was it Palmer) fellow's fault but damn, the drums both never let up and/or are so far in front of the mix I'm half expecting them to lap the rest of the band. In short, and sorry but I don't do short very well do I , its all a bit forgettable and somewhat cliched.

On to Eden .... which I'm really only listening to because I want to. This was a first round find for me. I simply enjoy it more every time I play it. Brilliant.

yeah man... you all need to put a stake through that albums heart... or it will rise again and prey upon virgin prog listeners and turn them to the dark side of generic prog...

Frequency is the only IQ album that I really like, but it's a great one.

never really thought of that... but excellent point. Clap

IQ without any doubt.

And it's not one of their very best.
