4 stars World Record completed the last trio of the 'classic' Van Der Graaf Generator albums from the 70's although it's not quite up to pair with Pawn Hearts or Godbluff but still very good nevertheless. Musically, it continues the style that Godbluff and Still Life had though perhaps a bit more hit'n'miss unfortunately, but it's rarely boring and it contains several wonderful and typical VDGG hooks. Solid performance both technically and compositionally with the "Meurglys III" suite being a standout here despite it's reggae jam ending wich is not bad at all, just a bit out of place here. If you like either Godbluff or Still Life then pick this one up! 4/5
