What do people think of Quiet World?

   I've heard parts of the album here and there on various compilations, and from the strength of the 3 or so tracks I heard, I wouldn't rush out to buy it. I think it's a religious concept album, but didn't seem too complex, just pleasant folk numbers. I don't remember hearing much from Steve Hackett on the songs I came across, so if you want some guitar brilliance, you may not get it.
Here's a review of the album:

	I haven't heard it, but I'm really curious ... so I thought I'd bump it back up to the pile and see if there are any takers the second time around?

	'The Road' by Quiet World (Steve Hackett's first band, I believe) was recently reissued on CD here in Japan. I don't see it listed on the Archives and haven't come across anyone mentioning it. I picked up a copy and think it's great; definitely a album. How do people rate it
