To be honest I was not really expecting anyone to like it, as pretty heavyLooking at the poll results John, there is a pretty even spread across the board.

I think the results have been pretty positive TBH and as you say, its quite a heavy one. I love the extra discs too, so thanks again for making me buy it

Just getting round to posting my thoughts on this John.
I've never heard much from this band before for some reason. Not bad, I quite like it in places & really liked it in others.
I sometimes had a bit of a problem coping with the 'oh, so profound' lyric style & delivery in places. I often do with US bands - it sometimes comes across as profound cheesiness to me! ......but I can cope with that.
Hearing this motivated me to buy the 5 album boxed set, which I had seen before & wondered about giving it a go, so it can't all be bad.
I gave it what would have been a 7 / 10.

Thanks for feedback
I was hoping you might like it but thought it might be to heavy for you
Yes the band do deep and heavy but I like it when bands can do that, I actually think this is some of their most personal writing
Some of the music is quite Rush inspired and I think on this album you can clearly hear that at times I thinking mostly in the drumming
I think you like some of the box set

Oh, yes - I remember we realised we'd both been to that gig at the Hammy Odeon - Bloody hell, that was a long time ago now!

Yeah we both getting on. One of the few drums solos I actually enjoyed in my entire life (i generally dislike them with a passion)
