Their first two albums are tied with this one to be the best in the west. I cant choose which one is the best though.

Overproduced and radio friendly is what this is. You basically have 3 good tunes surrounded by crap.
This is more pop than prog as barely anything on here passes for progressive rock.
Sirius is a decent way to start off the album. The song has a great synth line followed by the kick drum, distorted guitar, and strings. The track has a cold feel to it, but it's the only one like this... The feeling doesn't last as the majority of the record is pop fluff.
The first 15 seconds of Eye In The Sky are passable, but then it turns into this cheesy, weak pop number.
The next two tracks are no better. Stale soft-rock music with no depth.
Finally we reach the highlight of the album... Silence and I is the best track off the album and the only real progressive track. The song has a beautiful melody and an awesome orchestral middle section with horns and strings. The horns on seriously rule and Woolfson's vocal performance is excellent.
So after the best track follows the worst track. You're Gonna Get Your Fingers Burned is just atrocious. It's that awful 80s generic pop crap that somehow got popular. The vocal performance is flat out terrible and the lyrics are laughable.
The next 3 songs suck just as bad. Mammagamma's synth reminds me of Pink Floyd's The Wall which is just horrendous.
Old and Wise is the final and last decent track. It's a piano driven ballad with a sincere vocal performance by Colin Blunstone. Mel Collins closes out the album with a great sax solo.
It was downhill for the band after this boring record.

Old and Wise is sung by the dude from the Zombies! Heard it again today and after jamming Zombies all

I don't have Tales unfortunately. If I had to make a blind comparison SirLord, I'm guessing Tales is their Crime Of The Century and this is their Breakfast In America.
