DARK MATTER

Judging by other reveiws here I'm probably the only one who feels a little underwhelmed by IQ's latest album.It's a return to the complex symphonic prog of their debut 'Tales From The Lush Attic' and certainly is an ambitious effort.However by comparison very little of it is as inspired while the songs are not as good as those on 'The Seventh House' or 'Ever'.Probably IQ's weakest album since 'Are You Sitting Comfortably' but not bad all the same.It still has some polished playing from all concerned and the 24 minute 'Harvest Of Souls' should make a good live track.
