The most complete The Tangent album to date. And, to me, the best one since A Place in the Queue.

I'd almost given up after the last two albums, but I'm very glad I gave this one a chance.

The musicianship is superb, the lyrics are as clever and cynical as ever. (Only Andy Tillison could rhyme 'birdshit' with 'traverse it'.) It's nice to see Jakko and Jonas back. And Gavin Harrison's drumming is clever and solid, as ever. My only criticism is that I would have liked to hear David Longdon's voice more (Big Big Train). He's got it, so flaunt it!

My personal favourite on the album is the ending of the Third Movement. The Tangent at their emotional best.

If you haven't heard a The Tangent album yet, buy this one first. It's incredible. Well done, Andy and gang!
