ENGLISH ELECTRIC (PART ONE)

I have listened to this long enough to finally give my review: And it's a no-brainer. ENGLISH ELECTRIC (part 1), is everything people have been saying it is- a wonderful slice of English, Genesis- like prog. Great melodies, skillful instrumental playing, nice lyrics, and a very fine singer. My personal favorites on here are "The First Rebreather", "Uncle Jack" and the Gentle Giant-like "Judas Unrepentent". However, all the songs here are great with only "A Boy In Darkness" failing to totally wow me. I have no problem giving this 5 stars and a nod for Album of the Year 2012. I have been listening to this almost daily since I got it and it has not worn out it's welcome yet and I don't think it ever will. And thats my definition of a classic album.
