Awesome Prog-Adj Rock

"Early impressions: don't be fooled by the name - this is a wonderfully powerful rock record, full of 'originality', spunky and aggressive yet intelligent with many Prog touches. It is the sound of a band rejuvenated, re-discovering the combination of energy and inventiveness that propelled them in earlier years. Greenfield's classic organ is definitely back as a key element of the sound, along with Burnel's growling bass, though neither is used to excess.

Norfolk Coast was a good heavy rock record, but this is a significant step forward and should appeal to open-minded Prog lovers who like their Rock to have balls. Good songs. Wonderful arrangements."
