I originally purchased this album upon release March 1983 and at the time we had just moved house and because we were upside down a bit, I had to wait a few days before getting my ear'oles accustomed to it. When I did, I thought the songs were majestic, Fish's singing was quite provocative and loved the samples they used to accentuate the songs . It did help a lot that it had a very similar sound to 70's Genesis.
Moving forward to now, I haven't played this album in a very long while. I bought the remaster cd and listened to it a couple of times and thought at the time that yes, it is a very good album but how the production and sound makes it sound very dated.
The only track I do not like is "Garden Party". Didn't like it then, don't like it now. For me, the best track is the title track and I find that now and again I will sing the first few lines to myself.
Not a good choice for a first time buyer, but well worth a listen to gather the initial roots of the original group with Fish.
