But this sort of more heavy style of prog, if that's what it is, really isn't for me. Definitely felt more like early Purple or Zep, and there's nothing wrong with that, but for prog I prefer the likes of Genesis, Rush, Pendragon, that kind of thing. This didn't fit well within those boundaries, though I understand they're my own personal ones.

I'm sure it's a good album, just as I'm sure load of people love "Dark matter" or "Brain salad surgery": I just couldn't get into it and totally lost interest.

Sorry man!
Hey, the whole idea of the club if for listeners to write how they really feel about an album with honest opinions. If we all agreed on what what was good, the club would be quite boring.

BTW just to let you know, that if you ever submit a Phil Collins era Genesis album, I'll have the knives out for it asap.
