"If this is poppier than fans are comfortable with, let's admit that Steven Wilson takes any form of music and makes it much better, more complex and pleasing. Those four openers are Wilson perfection. This guy just loves making great music. Permanating is a damn great Supertramp tribute, and then..."  [+]  Reply

"Really digging Ty’s forays into jazz fusion, just like on last year’s self-entitled album. However I still prefer the latter release. That’s not to say that this one isn’t some high-octane, white knuckle, adrenaline pumping shit too. Because it is! It’s yet another moment of freaky garage brillia..."  [+]  Reply

"Why in the world is this album ranked number 108 on THIS YEAR'S list? This album is one of Rush's best, full of challenging instrumental passages, wonderful strings, and some solid melodies on songs like "The Wreckers". Rush haven't been very melodic in the last 15 years, but they seem to be turn..."  [+]  Reply

"Hmm, would you look at that. User SaulCortes1992 has given the album a 5/100 rating two weeks before the album is released. Looking at his charts, not surprised to see yet another elitist rockist user on here."  Reply

"This guy man. Look, I'm not arsed about your chin stroking jazz man who can tell me a load of reasons why this ain't the real deal. I only know that he brings the feelings every time and when I saw him live he knocked my sober socks off. At the end of the day, what the fuck more d'yer want?"  Reply

"I must admit after half a dozen listens I'm still having problems getting to grips with this. There is hardly anything to latch on to.
