3 stars OK, let's make this easy and short. I don't like this album, because it doesn't work with me (I was trying for quite a long time, unfortunately), I don't consider it important in Prog history (some probably will, my opinion is not the only one here, even I'm the black sheep in these reviews, something that I don't enjoy much, nor it's going to prevent me from doing so), nor the atmosphere is something of interest for me. Let's continue with ranting. Because this is story, this should be advantage. And Marty likes concept albums, or at least I used to think that (well, it's true in most of cases). Because of these reasons, this album fails.

Tribal beginning in Back to Where We Came From may drive some people to ecstasy, but I'll pass, I'll rather not participate. However, it's probably the best track here, some psychedelic structures here (quite good ones). A Day In My Life is (if it's Indus version of this Beatles song with added "my", I didn't notice then), or maybe it's better to say should be fine song in genre of (how they call it, I'm not so familiar with it), Indo-Prog. However, quite boring indeed, as it doesn't provide much needed things mentioned few lines upwards. And so on, et cetera (more jamming, psychedelic, maybe Krautrock stuff (who am I to decide, after all, I'm not a fan of this genre). It's good, when stronger stuff like Electric Silence is on, but there one more reason I didn't state yet. I don't take drugs, so I'm somehow crippled when trying to enjoy this. Yes, I'm sure many of you don't do it this way too, but who knows, maybe I would understand it better than. I don't now, not so much. But there are light moments and I must admit it.

3(+) for drowned by some, raised by some (tracks).
