4 stars Seeing that there are a lot of reviews of this album that seem unfair and off-base, I thought I'd throw in my two cents worth.

Let's not be fooled, this is one of the best albums by Fish. It's certainly heavier and stronger than albums like Vigil and Zippos. Shadowplay starts off rather quietly, but then kicks in and rocks. There are some very interesting xylophone-sounding keyboards during the chorus that are very cool too. The song shifts around in true heavy-prog style. Credo and Just Good Friends are lighter and more straightforward, but still sound very Fish-ish and could pass for something on Clutching at Straws. Favorite Stranger is quieter with lots of singing and keyboards, but is still good. Tongues (or Speaking in Tongues) is another of the album's heavy tunes. It also has some cool keyboards during the chorus. The title track Internal Exile sounds a bit Irish/Celtic, probably reflecting Fish's Scottish roots.
