HEAVEN BORN AND EVER BRIGHT

This album is SO underrated! I don't understand why its rating is lower than the other albums before and after it. Sure, it isn't their best, but the genius of Tim Smith is still there, and the music itself is as amazing as always. Seriously, the only band I can name that makes more insane albums that this one is Frank Zappa!

This album is the first after very strong line-up changes going from a six person band to just four? Songs like the opener feature majestic use of duplicated vocals. Anything I Can Eat is an intense and crazy track (even more than the rest of the album!). This album is definitely more accessible than the rest of their discography, but that doesn't mean it's accessible.

Seriously underrated. Ignore the ratings, go check it out! This band was always creative and very consistent. Five Stars.
