The vocals are amazing, he keeps sounding better with age. The songwriting is very mature and the lyrics are very well thought of, and meaningful. You can tell a lot of thought and emotion has gone into this album, although I found it wee bit dull at times, but I suppose they aren't getting any younger.

This is in danger of being my favourite of theirs since Marbles. Certainly feels their most consistent for some while - and a definite step up from Fuck Everyone...

Their previous had its moments, but I agree. 'Sounds That Can't Be Made' is prob my favorite. This new release reminds me more of that album.

Maybe I'm getting soft in my old age but this is up there with the best of the Hogarth-era albums and possibly my favourite of the year so far. No doubt it will be ignored and underrated as usual.

Great album although there seems to be some brick walling with the sound.

It means lack of dynamics, everything is the same volume and louder than it should be. Like a hard limiter has been put on the audio files. This video has a pretty good example of that:

To me the album just does not have as good of a sound as it should and really does the album a disservice.

Can't stop listening to this juicy slice of prog rock excellence. Every track is killer. As me old man used to say: 'this is proper music'.
