When the world’s so close to the rim
Does it see the light beyond the edge?
Could it stop the violent stream
Of the golden-technology age?
Why are we so afraid of death
When most of all in life we want to die?
What if I had such big eyes
That I could see the farthest star in the Universe?
Then I would close ’em
Never to see (so as not to see) how this world is getting worse
What are we trying to prove today?
What’s the point of so-called progress?
Don’t you see how the world of grey
Slowly steps into the darkness?
Why are we so afraid of death
When all we do is hurry up to die?
Seems there’s nothing fair in life
All we have is disappointment and pain
I keep trying to analyze
Why the world is so insane

The absolute pinnacle of modern British progressive rock. The loss of David Longdon is a huge blow, but this band has the talent to carry on. This album was my introduction to them and is so melodic and memorable to be so intricately arranged and performed. scarroll007

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022
