As I thought, they s is a very tough one. Great albums from Ayreon, It Bites, Martin Orford, Moon Safari and Frost*

Today I pick The Tall Ships, such a fabulous comeback album after 19 years😎

What are your thoughts?😊

I think it was one of the  last reviews i wrote. 
I like the album a lot, not as good as Marbles, but a huge improvement, step forward compared to the previous one - Somewhere Else. 
A bit uneven, some songs really stand out, on both parts.
