Review by iQuizzle 3 years ago <Permalink>
iQuizzle is very familiar with this album.
Stellar Symphonic Rock!
Classic, Minimalistic, Mellow
I guess I'm going to be the outlier here, but this is quite easily one of my favorite albums by KC. The final two songs are chillingly beautiful and the whole album has so much character. It might seem somewhat minimalist compared to In the Court... and In the Wake..., but it does a fantastic job and striking emotional resonances for me.
