ARE YOU SITTING COMFORTABLY ?

The last Paul Menel/IQ album. Judging from the previous release, this album could only be better, or could it be worse? The opening "War Heroes" starts the mood nicely, but is soon followed by another "mainstream" sounding "poppy" song. Falling Apart at the Seams wants to restore the PROG label to this album, but, to no avail. Wurensh is an equally weak attempt.

Not all together certain how to rate this album as I find it weaker than its predecessor. Was sure it will deliver the goods after an interesting opening track. Sometimes I will an album to be good, sadly, I failed on this occasion. 2 Stars.
