Only halfway through my first playthrough, but so far liking it, and then I hit "False Lights"... Wow. Talk about instant-fave. Fantastic.
Thanks to Nellie for getting this out on release day! |

No, I have it too! Just not had a chance to listen to it yet. It was a big week for new prog albums, with Magenta and Big Big Train also releasing new ones. Will hopefully get a chance tomorrow... |

Cool, I just thought it a bit weird that there was absolutely no talk of it, either here or on the Frost forum. I'm a bit 50/50 with it, I really like False Lights as I said, and one or two others; (Everglow, The Big Dream) but the somewhat shmaltzy ballads aren't doing anything for me at all. |

I'm on my first listen and I'm quite liking it so far. _________________ What's wrong with being sexy? |

It's one of those albums that definitely gets better with repeated listenings. I also think the tracks get better as the albums goes on.  |

Went to see Lonely Robot last night in Manchester and it was a tremendous night. JM was on great form and he has a hell of a band with him. Craig Blundell on drums was simply immense. The Lonely Robot songs came over really well and a great support performance from Tilt.
Also really great to bump into RussHD, a top bloke if every there was one! _________________ What's wrong with being sexy? |

Got a copy of this album for Xmas. Not bad. Prefer it slightly to the first album. |
