ROCK ISLAND

I can't understand too why so many people dislike this album. As for me, this album is a mature work, songs are absolutely natural for 42 years old man. No need to expect another "Aqualung", Mr. Anderson has the right to tell you new stories.

There are no bad tracks at all, even more - the title track, "Another Christmas Song", "The Whaler's Dues" (my personal favorite, what a great story's told) and "Strange Avenues" are excellent. I don't care whether it is prog or not, the band is much bigger than any genre, so I prefer simply listen and enjoy this very good album.
