I can't unhear "where in the world" from GPS Culture as the old PC World jingle (90s-early 00s). Very clever subtle quote there. I haven't consciously spotted any of the other quotes (mentioned in the lyric footnote) in that song yet.
I love the lyric "You've got more people here than Sweden/But it's the loneliest place in the world" from Lost in London, and the magnificent epic title track is definitely becoming a favourite already.
It feels ironic that Marillion have got significant success in their current-issues lyrics for F.E.A.R, but The Tangent have been doing it for years.

Queue is still my favorite Tangent album, hands down. I do actually like or love them all to varying degrees. Already did the pre-pre-order for the new one, looking forward to it!

Just finished my first spin of A Place in the Queue, and it's wonderful! I just love how this band has got The Groove. The Funk. Whatever you call it, they've got It! The two epics that bookend the album are arguably the highlights, and The Sun In My Eyes is just fun. You're a party pooper if you disregard that song just because you can dance to it!

Hey, don't get upset with me, I happen to like the album very much. I just was pointing out that the heart attack followed the release of the album, so wasn't really a factor in why someone might feel it's not as good as other albums of theirs (something, again, I don't agree with at all).

The reason why I avoid most appreciation threads here. No problem with saying you're disappointed with something but saying it over and over again for years is another thing.

Well, I quite like the last album, though I don't think it's their best and would rank it in the bottom half of albums. Keep in mind that this was a sort of farewell to the original mandate of the band to write 70's style progressive rock only. The next album they are breaking the template, according to Andy, and trying different things. However, he said not to worry as there will still be long tracks, odd time signatures, and blazing Hammond solos.
I'd recommend Tillison's latest solo album as well, as it has a variety of styles on it and some of the best music I've yet heard on his solo albums.
maybe I`ll need to rethink! my own mandate on the last album its as you`ve said its not a bad album. it will be very interesting what the next album will sound like...yes infandous his solo albums are different in styles which are interesting
