My view is that this is one of the very worst bands to come out of British music over the past 18 years. They were originally a COMPLETE Pink Floyd rip off, and there is virtually nothing interesting, new or original in the majority of their catalogue at all - it just sounds like bog standard 70s prog: the turmoil where a lot of prog unfortunately ended up towards the end of the classic prog era. I do NOT understand why this band have such a following and I completely fail to see their merits. If somebody would like to take on the task of clearly and effectively explaining just what this band have done that is of any particular substantial merit at all, I would be very happy to read it.
