I consider 'Rage For Order'... to be the bearer of an impressive progression from its predecessor 'The Warning', the maximum qualitative peak reached by the Seattle band in terms of intense visionary capacity, ingenuity, imagination, foresight both from the sound perspective and from the bold solutions undertaken within this enduring work. Over twenty years later, I remember perfectly each vocal and instrumental passage: I’m practically due for a mental lock-up.
