4 stars This could have been a much better album if they just kept to playing music, and omitted the dreadful "The Hare Who Lost His Spectacles" section. Without this overly long, and embarrassingly silly interlude, the music is very good. And very progressive. I wouldn't say it would rate as highly as Thick As A Brick. But how many albums do? While there are sections that are every bit a good as some of the parts of TAAB, the flow between them just doesn't seem natural, as it does in the aforementioned album. And since that wascally wabbit is stuck right in the middle of the CD's single track, or the LP's 2 sides, it is very difficult to skip over it.

3.5 stars, rounded up. Coulda been a solid 4.
