Filled Star - Denotes One PointFilled Star - Denotes One PointFilled Star - Denotes One PointFilled Star - Denotes One PointFilled Star - Denotes One Point by tom on 28 Mar 2007

This is not an album that grabbed me when I first put it on, but by god it's a grower. Everyone who mentioned it said it was great, and these were people whose taste I trusted. With a few more listens I saw past what felt like prog-rock, to tracks that were immense, operatic, and very very well done.

And it stands the test of time. Whilst some of the tracks are now totally familiar, they haven't lost any of their shine. Tunnels conjures up brilliant images; Power Cut and Rebellion (Lies) rock; and album highlight for me Wake Up does the same, with choral backing. Awesome.
