"Top notch storytelling, catchy melodies, and tracks that roll from one to another will ease. A 21st century masterpiece."

"An incredibly strong album. Crane Wife 3 is one of the most perfect pop songs. The medley that follows beautifully recreates prog circa 1970. Bliss!"

Great album. My second favorite after Picaresque. Contains true gems and has a super strong first half.

I love this album very much. My own band performs "Yankee Bayonet"...it's such a fun song to do. Always a good time to sing about "the bellies and the bones and the bile".

The title tracks are excellent as well.
