5 stars Well this is one of 2 IQ albums that deserve the 5 star rating.A dark almost overwhelming record that grabs you by the throat and just won't let go.'The Magic Roundabout' has absolutely nothing to do with Dougal and chums I can assure you ,while 'Widows Peak' has one of the most startling intros to any peice of music I've heard.Paul Cook is awesome on the skins here.The star of the show undoubtedly though is Pete Nicholls who lends an intensity to the songs that is very rare in music.This is a special record.
