5 stars Woow this album is heavy, its almost a metal album, it must definitly be crimsons heaviest album i have ever heard if you thought larks toung in aspic part 2 was hard rocking wait till you have lisened to this. And its allso my #2 favorite crimson album, Its imposible to give this anything else then 5 star this is a complete masterpiece, my god why in hell did this fantastic band split up after this fantastic record yust imagine what the follow up to this culd have been, its realy sad. Well on to the songs the title track kick start the album realy hard rocking instumental and a great opener, then we have Fallen angel and this track i yust love it start with some creepy sounds then comes a fantastic melody that must have been made in heaven and then some heavy great parts and back to the softer melody a masterpice of a song. After that we get oOne more red nightmare a metallic song and a very good one hard rock at its best, and after that comes a much softer but very strange and spooky Providence and its anothere winner fits perfect for the album and gives it some varition, its an instumental jam a very good and creepy one. And the comes the last song for the album and for this line up of the band and its the swan song of the album. Start as an mindblowing beautiful ballad, it allmost makes me cry somtimes its yust so god dame beautiful, then comes another part that builds and builds and then we got the final part on the song and its stellar, yust perfect ending to this monster of an album the saxophones are great and everything is realy tight and heavy, then its over and your left breathless...
