Unfortunately I played it to death when I first got it. Was the perfect album to strap on headphones and get totally immersed in. I even got to see the last ever complete live performance of it at the Astoria when they played a very under-rehearsed The Last Human Gateway as an encore. Ended coming back home very late on a Sunday night but it was so worth it!
Nowadays it ranks low for me in their discography but generally I'm just not prepared to devote a whole evening to it. I mean it is about 2 hours long , a real monster! |

Did somebody say IQ?    Took me a long time to get into Subterranea. I discovered the band in the late '80s with the fantastic Menel albums. Saw them in '89 at The Marquee the night they announced they were splitting up! Fast forward to 1997 and I see an advert in The Independent for Subby, saying it was the best concept album since The Wall. Was astounded to see they were back together. Got the album, but who was this "new vocalist"? Didn't like him at all, and the album was a real struggle to listen to... Eventually it clicked. And eventually I learnt about Ever, and the pre-Menel albums and learned to love the "new vocalist"! Subby is a classic. And IQ are the most consistent band on the planet. Until Resistance........

I have mixed feelings about IQ. I've seen them live a few times and they always impress, but their albums, like a lot of neo-prog just remind me of how much I prefer classic prog. I'm also not keen on the vocals; sound like a weak Gabriel. Subterannea is ok, but if I had to choose I prefer Ever and The Seventh House, although these days I would say it has the edge of Dark Matter.
I also prefer Wake and Tales from the Lush Attic. |

this thread was created 2 days ago, be patient. Neo-prog is not that popular here, but I've seen a lot of users here enjoy IQ.

It was released as a solo Mike Holmes album instead.

A good piece of work....not their 'magnum opus'. I think most IQ fans would say Road of Bones with the bonus disc. Personally my favorites are Dark Matter and Frequency.
