I like Fruupp more than Genesis. Yeah they basically are a clone of them but a bit Jazzy, hey y'know, I just love like 4~ of their songs. Two of those songs happen to be on this album and are the longest numbers so they really bring this album up for me to 4/5.The first two tracks are pretty plain Fruupp songs, pretty by the numbers for the band. Gormenghast is a powerful song made beautiful by the lyrics being about Mevryn unfinished novel series. It is fitting Fruupp be a band to use his work as an inspiration since they to have an unfinished album that will likely languish for an eternity as unreleased. Everything just comes together on this song. The other excellent track is Sheba Song which is about Queen Sheba. It is lovely. The rest of the tracks aside from the pretty piano ballad Why, are all okay. Overall this album has a lot of average spread across a few tracks and pure excellence on two tracks, ergo easy 4/5, great album and definitely the best Fruupp album to my ears. (Mel Collins saxophone really adds something wonderful here)
