4 stars Adventurous and more mature record, after their masterpiece "Misplaced Childhood". For many fans this could be their best Fish-era album, for me, the previous album is their best one. You can see a great evolution since their first album, but sometimes less is better, and in this record, in my opinion, there is a lot going on and everything is not great. The first songs are a bit boring, I enjoyed the second part more, especially when "Incommunicado" starts, such a great song. It's a nice and interesting album but not at the level of the great masterpiece "Misplaced Childhood", which is a better written and balanced record.
