RADIATOR

Quite a bit better than their debut. A lot of the music is more interesting, although it's slightly ruined by the short instrumental passages with no real purpose - namely "Furryvision" and "Short Painkiller" - and the over-excited, heavier songs which don't work that well - namely " Chupacabras" and "Torra Fy Ngwallt Yn Hir". There's a bit more experimentation here, and even a bit of rap with "Hermann Loves Pauline".

Unfortunately, while there isn't actually that much which is dreadfully wrong with this album, I rarely make it all the way through, and usually fall asleep sometime on "Down A Different River". Not that that's a particularly boring song, but by then the album seems to have dragged on for altogether far too long. Again, despite my 3-star rating, I wouldn't bother with this unless you're a completionist, especially if you're a proghead at heart.

The best song is Demons, which is the only song which is really that essential. It has fantastic lyrics, great chord changes and even a very pleasurable instrumental brass section.
