4 stars This album is almost perfect. All tracks are ok, with exception of "Design", a very-very-very experimental song (song?!) that don't arrive anywhere. In "Interview", we can hear an espectacular keyboard, with nice giffs from Green - in other words, a very nice music . "Give it back" is a incredible mix of rock and reggae. Is it possible in GG??!!! Yes, it is! And it is very interesting!! Great scheme, great layout. Xilophones is amazing! Well, now, let's skip "Design" (blergghhhh)... "Another Show" is a interesting music, with keyboard tone rising all the time... and drums fast! Track 5 "Empty City" is another nice composition. In the beggining, the acoustic guitar, with soft keyboard background. The voice enter with great style, in a soft melody. The variation begins, but the soft melody continues. We have here a very pleasing song, with a light and soft drum by Weathers. The track "Timing", we have, again, the acoust guitar in the begin. But now, the continuation of the melody is more "medieval", with flutes. After 3 minutes, the drums and the electric guitar begins... with vocals. Very nice time: not so fast, but not slow too. Nice melody, too, with nice guitar riffs. The last one, "I lost my head", Minnear comes, with another great keyboard. Organ (Hammond) is the main instrument is this track. After 2 minutes, we have a violin and piano conversation... a very particular GG way of make progressive rock. We have a guitar solo too... nice, but not soberb. The album ends suddenly... but in great style! Four stars...!
