Reviews

obibon Dec 7, 2022
One of the best albums in music history, period.
It has it all, except bad songs.
Very energetic, starting with the 2 minute piano intro of the first song.
It has 3 songs that are around 10 minute long, but with such musicality and variation that you never have the feeling of wanting it to end. In fact, it makes you feel wanting more of the shorter songs.

Every song is perfect, and even the order of the tracks is perfect. With a kick-ass cover, there isn't anything in the album that is not absolutely perfect.
