RAINGODS WITH ZIPPOS

Good but not great. Various sounds and rythms. A nice addition to your collection, but not the same level than Sunsets... Steven Wilson's presence is not as prominent as in Sunsets. No Johnny Punter or Vigil to be seen. Fish's voice sounds great.

Exceptional songs (5/5): None.

Great songs (4/5): Plague of Ghosts, even though comparing it to Misplaced Childhood is pushing the envelope! Tumbledown (especially the intro on piano), Faith Healer.

Good songs (3/5): Rites of Passage, Incomplete, Tilted Cross.

Average songs (2/5): Mission Statement.

Weak songs (1/5): None.

Desastrous songs (0/5): None.

Overall, I give this album 4 stars... 3.5 really!
