5 stars This is an amazing album, though it takes many listens to grasp it. All three original tracks are essential, but don't bother listening to the bonus tracks.

The first song, Lemmings (Including Cog) includes many great (if very odd) melodies. This song is easy to get into compared with the rest of the album because the opening riff is very catchy.

Man-Erg is an emotional roller coaster. It goes from a beautiful piano section with nice vocals, to a psychotic, hard section and then fuses them together at the end with the psychotic, dark section taking over at the end. Truly haunting.

A plague of lighthouse keepers is a great epic. I always feel a sense of despair when listening to this song. It's like watching a horror film. This track features great sax playing and very emotional singing.

A Masterpiece!!
