Here is great songwriting and a great timeless sound. Definitely proggy, a good range of styles, songs that twist and turn with unexpected things around the corners - it all keeps the ear interested. Driving riffs / double bass pedals through to acoustic guitar and piano. (though I'm not such a big fan of some of the more ponderous stuff). Bit of an epic orchestral sound in there at times too.
It's always good to hear a vocalist who can really sing - I'm an old-fashioned gal. Jim Grey really has a good voice which I'll enjoy listening to much more of.
I love it when a band makes an effort with the artwork - in the vinyl days, this would be a double-album with a gatefold sleeve and this graphic would be printed 12" square. (Eyes go dreamy...)
