4.0 excellent | Egglord | December 1st 07 | Eye in the Sky is a true comeback for one of the seventies best progressive groups albeit with an added pop sensibility. The album follows a slump in the quality of the band's output. Their albums Pyramid, Eve, and Turn of a Friendly Card were not up to par with their first two albums.
This album brought lyrical maturity, the concept of theme, and experimental instrumentation to the masses. The first side of the album is the perfect hybrid of the above themes and radio friendliness into an enjoyable succession of accessible songs. The second half deviates from the initially presented formula to mixed results. Songs such as Old and Wise sound would sound perfectly at home on Pyramid while You're Gonna Get Your Fingers Burned is as boring as it is nagging.
The album is inconsistent and patchy but its better points are as good as anything the Project has ever done. It is the perfect starting album for the new fan.

3.7 great | Erwann S. STAFF | May 11th 20 | HEY IT'S THE BULLS THEME SONG YEEEEHAAAW. Apart from that, Parsons take 70s prog to 80s modernity. There's pop and funk thrown into the soft prog rock core. Guitars and synthesizers mingle together without overstepping the other instrument, creating this pop prog odyssey. It sounds at times a bit too much like "hey it's the 80s and we're having FUN" for my liking, but when it goes full prog it's amazing.

3.5 great | kheman1317 | December 4th 18 | I don't think this album contains any bad songs, but majority of the tracks in this album are decent or above average at best. Some outstanding tracks include "Eye in the Sky" and "Old and Wise" with good music and incredible lyrics.

4.0 excellent | CynicalComplex | June 4th 12 | 90125? Feh. THIS is the top dog of 80s prog-pop albums released by the 70s prog bands. Unless you want to call Discipline pop. Do you?
