I talk to the wind, and Moon child are the best IMO, but every track is great.

I Talk to the Wind is probably my favorite song. The flute is ace and it's perfect as far as length goes.

I won't make a Maroon 5/Panic! comment, but I will explain my rating.

The first three tracks are all excellent, but nine minutes of Moonchild is a complete waste. I don't even bother listening to the song because it's basically just King Crimson experimenting in the studio. The last song is good, but I feel that it drags on to long with the "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhs." The song should have ended at around 7:10 but then they start it up again and the song gets very repetitive.

I rate this album very highly but I must agree with Zebra on Moonchild, it is self-indulgent and should have been cut short. It would have been better if it was a little longer (maybe another track or two) but overall a brilliant album!

I listened to this again last night...just as orgasmic as always. I really want to start a prog band and cover these songs now.

ill give these guys a listen. I only draw out a comparison to DT because many regard them as definitive prog metal, so hearing about these guys being great prog rock i figured there could be a comparison. thanks anyways

This is pretty much one of the best albums I've heard in a while.

Epitaph, I Talk To The Wind, and Moonchild are amazing.

I Talk To The Wind is the biggest borefest ever. And the 10 minute improvisation on Moonchild. But other than that, yeah this is a dazzling album
