5 stars I like this one sometimes even more than Misplased Childhood.A bit usual music in the beginning:a hard-rocking "Assassing"(I adore the mid-part with Fish's lamentation),a nervous "Punch and Judy" and "the most lyrical song"(as Fish himself proclaims)"Jigsaw"(great chorus here).But the first track,that really has a complex structure, is "Emerald Lies".It sounds like a 5-min sampler of MARILLION's classical period(83-85):a quiet Script-like intro,a cold and agressive mid-part and a Misplaced- like ballad ending in major key.

"She Chameleon" has awesome church organ(I wonder why Mark used it only once - can you recall another MARILLION's song with such organ?) and PINK FLOYD-like mid- part."Incubus"(Fish's favourite,as he says) is my favouritest track here - Rothery's 6/8 solo in the mid-part just drives me mad!"Fugazi" is my second favourite:a closing march ("Where all the prophets?")is one of the greatest tunes I ever heard!!!

I wonder why they have not included "Cinderella Search" there.A "Welcome back to the circus"-part is another astonishing final.

What more can I say? A MUST!!!
