Solid project, with the old scroll cover design and deep dive into the mechanical '80s.   Good tour as well with probably their best program book... does anyone remember tour programs?   Do they still make them?

Def one of my favourites - I think there's an undeniable 'sound' issue  - i.e. it has that awful 80's sheen, and of course the programmed drums (which can be great, but aren't here...) But, But, But - all the songs have staying power - in that odd snippets of them swirl around my head, even more basic songs like 'raising steam'  - 'I may not be coming back!' - so I find myself drawn to it/playing it and enjoying it more than my mind (which is VERY biased against the production sound) really wants!

That is true, but it was a step forward nevertheless. Smile
