That's their nadir, I'm afraid. I'd backtrack to Perfect Symmetry / Parallels or jump ahead to Darkness in a Different Light / Theories of Flight, where they regained their mojo.

nadir?! it's one of my favorite albums. LOL

I can see it from both points of view... it's good, but has a certain starkness which divides opinion. FWX was the nadir in my view..Ouch

Pretty awful year for prog. By this point I believed music was on its knees until Enya released the sublime Watermark album. I also loved Al Stewart's 'Crossover prog' album The Last Days Of The Century and Vangelis released one of his best albums Direct after he had relocated back to Greece.

I don't think FW has ever created a "nadir". They have never released a bad album.

Cardiacs
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Music Is Live

Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.

Voted for Three just barely above Steve Hackett.

2 great albums not listed: Billy Currie w/Steve Howe: Transportation, and Andy Summers: Mysterious Barricades.

It may be noticed and curious enough that not all the bands included in Wikipedia's Timeline of Progressive Rock are 
considered Prog in Wikipedia's articles about those bands. Ermm
                      quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

A very surprising win for Queensryche, Cardiacs and Talk Talk, although I suspect it's no surprise to anyone else here. Tongue
