    Everything on this flashy, melodramatic album punches its weight. If it had come out in 1985, it would have ruled the world.

    this is an album made with heart and conviction.
    each song is a standout track and permeates nicely into one another making this album a solid sonic art masterpiece.
    it is a A+ performance in terms of each of the individual performance of Simon, John, Nick and Roger, and together they created something more....something ethereal.

    This is a classic concept/pop album of the highest order.    … Full Review »

Generally I expect to like a handful to half of the songs per new album, but this time they really brought the confidence, energy, playing, and songwriting.
