I bought this CD several years ago for one song - Swamp Thing - which is always a risk. I love the song but the album is not all that great. It seems self-involved, almost pretentious. All I can think of is a bunch of art school students dressed in black thinking that they are going to change the face of music and this is what they came up with.The songs are not too distinct from one another, the lofty and over-dramatic vocals fail to impress. Makes me think of a "new wave" Jethro Tull or Marillion.For me this was a pretty unimpressive disc.
