"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!"

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. _________________ I'm leaning on the threshold
