So Mr. Bungle went goodbye, and so Trey Spruance finally found it in him to pull his once side band together into a killer force. The result is one of the all time greatest, and one of the all time most eclectic, avant-prog releases. But what do you think?

I recently bought this album - my very first SC3 album - and loved every minute of it, right from the first listen. It is a masterpiece, and much more accessible (in relative terms, of course) than I thought the band would be. |

I think it's the first really good SC3 album, and I even prefer it a bit over the much-loved Book of Horizons which is a little less accessible and kind of turns me off whenever a Holy Vehms song comes on. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ramza1316" rel="nofollow - www.last.fm/user/ramza1316 https://open.spotify.com/user/1211221845" rel="nofollow - https://open.spotify.com/user/1211221845 |

SC3 in my humble opinion, is probably the greatest project of the last 15 years or so. Book M changed my perspective on a lot of things- it changed my perception about oriental music, electronic music, metal. In general it broadened my horizons more than most albums. ------------- There be dragons |

Wonderful band, & great live, I'd love to see them at RIO, they'd go down a storm. I slightly prefer Book Of Horizons but both are excellent. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

| One of many greats by them, saw them live last year and Trey is a true showman, even though he could not walk normally and even though we were a tiny audience, they came out and did a double encore. Book M is definitely one of their greatest works. |

I would. Definitely give Book Of Horizons a listen. Aside from the two death metal tracks, it is truly top notch modern progressive rock. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |
