I've not heard the sample, but if this album is anything like Insurgentes, I will not be merciful and will gladly send it in the direction of Simon Railton.     Surprised you were so down on that one Robert, our tastes have been similar on many albums.  I thought Insurgentes more wonderful than any recent PT.

Out of 224 reviews, I think only like 12 are one star, but I honestly felt cheated in shelling out 18 bucks for Insurgentes and hearing what I did.  It has two modes: boring and noise.

Close To The Edge won.

Well, it's a thing I'll have to live with. Alone against everybody.

Out of how many?

I don't think that I remembered to vote in this one this time.

Dan's mega-album poll.

I really, really, really must get around to listening to Thick As A Brick again.  I haven't listened to it in a long time and although I thought it was OK, it never said top prog album to me.  I much prefer their "Greatest hits" material.  Of course, I keep saying that and yet I still don't get around to listening to it.  And Wish You Were Here as the top Pink Floyd album is puzzling to me too.  It is an album that I really like, but it might be my 5th or 6th favorite Pink Floyd album.

I guess I should give myself more credit for some of my older reviews. I guess they weren't half-bad after all. 

Glad to see Tago Mago fairly high up on the list.

Yeah, but it was such an exciting bore and such a lovely noise
