DARK MATTER

Three stars i think for this one,and by no means is it a bad album.It's very typically IQ throuhout,and has that unique IQ style that i love, unfortunately thats as far as it goes for me. I can't help but feel that nothing groundbreaking has been achieved here,and to be honest,after such a masterpiece that "The seventh house" is, i did have my reservations about its follow up.As i said ealier,it is a good album,its just it all seems to have been done before.There's very defined echoes (in my opinion) of "Heart of the sunrise"(YES) and "Suppers' ready" (GENESIS) in "Havest of souls",which i found a little ammusing when i heard it.Still,if you are a fan of IQ, i suppose you'll know exactly where you are with this,which isn't always a bad thing.
