"I saw this at the record shop... why was I able to automatically buy new albums from nick cave and bon iver w/o even having heard them yet (I want to hear them for the first time on vinyl), but not even consider buying this? why? they were among the best, it's a shame that I have to feel like the..."  [+]  Reply

"A great neo-prog album that gets ambitious, but stays mostly well mannered. There is the full side single cut, which holds together well and a nice collection of other great Spock-ish stuff to keep it company."  Reply

"I was hugely disappointed in this album when it first came out, but it has really grown on me over the years. In addition to the two big hits (Athena and Eminence Front) there are some good deep cuts like One At A Time and Why Did I Fall For That. I suspect it's only so despised because it's a pa..."  [+]  Reply

"this album essentially saved my life last year. So i appreciate it more than almost any other album. Lyrically one of the top 5 albums of all time, perfection from front to back. I cant express how much this album means to me."  Reply
