I don't know, Polka, I like how you write, and your suggestions are always very interesting, but sometimes - like this one - it feels like your ideas come off as "forced," without soul, as if you were compelled to write them. Maybe it’s just my impression, I might be wrong... but this one, for example, seemed a bit antiseptic to me. I haven't listened to the album, it must surely be a masterpiece.

@POLKA: my personal opinion is that the second one should definitely be taken into account; it’s true that it’s almost a copy of the first, but with many more references to jazz - which will then materialize in the following two (which I find dispensable, because they are very cerebral). But keep in mind that they have never released "bad" albums. Also, I believe that for a group like this, the beauty lies in following the evolution it has undergone over the years (from prog to refined jazz, to the almost Hendrix-like lark of '73, passing through red to new wave). So, to make a long story short, start with the second one.
