5 stars IMO this is the best studio album made by Marillion. A solid story constructed on amazing and dark pathetic and poetic lyrics with awsome musical background. A soft and nostalgic introduction (Pseudo silk kimono) that opens the way to one of the most beautiful songs ever (Kayleigh) which still is a symbol of the 80's generation followed by another sad song that sometimes looks like a pathetic waltz (Lavender).

In the same moment that song ends, starts the real prog sense of this album, strongly based on the talents of their musicians and Fish lyrics and vocals "Bitter suite", "Heart of Lothian", "Warterhole", "Lords of the backstage", the long and powerful "Blind curve" and the amazing ending formed by "Childhood end" and "White feather" give as result one of the most prog and emotional records of the last 25 years.

Musically speaking, the album sounds perfect, with an awsome work on guitars and keyboards. Honestly a masterpice of the las decades. 5 stars!!
