OK, so it's not as good as "Mirage" or "Moonmadness" but those albums would be difficult to top.

OK, so there are a couple pop sounding tunes here and a dance number (of sorts). Why is it such a bad thing to record songs that are radio friendly?

OK, so it's got silly looking artwork for the cover but hey, it was 1978.

All in all, this record holds its own. There are GREAT tracks here. "Echoes" is one of the best songs Camel ever recorded and the title track is a beautiful piece. I think these 2 songs alone are the reason that "Breathless" became the band's biggest selling record in the US. To the naysayers I say give it another listen.
