Yep I got it over the weekend but I've been in Spain so haven't had a chance to play it yet. My one comment is the cover artwork. Having done the Roger Dean thing to death they are now going down the 'what the hell is this about?' route. Not saying I don't like it though!. Annoyingly I now have to go to work so I won't be able to listen to it until later.

I had one listen but I was very tired so its hard to even make a sensible comment. My only impression of it is that its a Glass Hammer album and stylistically is closer to If than Perilous with a dash of Culture Of Ascent. I need more listens obviously.

Hang on in there mate...all good things come to those who wait.
I'm on my second listen and it seems all very bright and breezy. The drummer seems very similar to Matt Mendians which for me is very pleasing.

I suppose it's a natural fallout from the "Dust Up" that inspired this thread but it looks as though Davison is being marginalised by Babb and Schendel. He appears last on the list of musicians and (though I don't have the album yet) looks like he makes very little contribution vocally. I find this pretty strange as given his involvement with Yes it would surely be best to accentuate this and (hopefully) project GH up several notches into the wider public domain.
Having said that the return of Susie is a very welcome one.
Any views as to the quality of the album as reviews are very thin on the ground so far........

Roj, it's a very typical modern Glass Hammer album.
For me GH peaked with The Inconsolable Secret and Culture Of Ascent. That perhaps goes against the popular view that they were elevated by Jon Davison and the new line up that appeared for If but I always struggled to feel the 'glow' that others had for that album . Technically its all present and correct but creatively nothing new. GH don't make bad albums though. If there was half stars I would give it 3.5 stars , and the same for the previous 3 albums as well.
