Agreed Eak. This album is full of those moments of genius in between organically developing passages that are so tastefully done!

Dunno, lots of it just feels too echo-y, especially some of the vocal pickups

Also I don't know that they were quite mature enough as songwriters to pull of all these super-lengthy multi-section epics at this early stage, lots of good ideas here that feel misplaced or executed in an unflattering way

I think they pulled it off better in their earlier years then they did later on. The compositions are less glossy, more organic.

I always liked the gloss of their mid-period stuff, especially on Ghost Reveries. Now there's an atmospheric record for ya!

Agreed it’s absolute quality but there’s still the abundance of gloss. I don’t think they recaptured the sense of depth reached on the first three records until Heritage which is luxuriant. Possibly because they opened themselves upto a different style which they went into full on. Some would claim it lacks substance but I won’t hear a bad word said.

Very very organic. A great flow of lovely sections, one after the other.
