The juxtaposition of the simplicity of the individual elements of the music and the way they fit togther with the complex strong structure is what makes it a very stand out album. Its a prog epic that can be considered accessible by some means, with a sort of laid back radio friendly innocence to it. You could probably cut any 4 minute chunk out of the song and use it as a single and it'd stand on its own fairly well.
