I'm not familar with which lyrics he wrote for GH but the lyrics which I believe he wrote for Heaven and Earth are awful sub-Anderson meaningless twaddle.

I've had a couple of full listens now and I like it more than Ode To Echo but probably not quite as much as the Jon Davison albums. My favourite GH album will always be The Inconsolable Secret ( Susie B  ) so it will not beat that. GH are maybe stalling a bit now creatively although this is still a solid chunk of symph prog and not as 'Yes like' as many will imagine it to be. Its a bit lacking in killer hooks though and the lyrics are inevitably going to be a tad weak compared to those penned by Davison.

Came through yesterday so I'm listening to it at the moment. Like all GH albums it's not easy to digest straight away and I've no idea where it would fit into their great canon of work. What's true is that this band have very high standards and they never let them slip.

Envious. I was expecting it through today although I had 3 others instead which will at least keep me occupied over the weekend.

Roj, it's a very typical modern Glass Hammer album.
For me GH peaked with The Inconsolable Secret and Culture Of Ascent. That perhaps goes against the popular view that they were elevated by Jon Davison and the new line up that appeared for If but I always struggled to feel the 'glow' that others had for that album . Technically its all present and correct but creatively nothing new. GH don't make bad albums though. If there was half stars I would give it 3.5 stars , and the same for the previous 3 albums as well.
