As markers go, the 16 minute title track, split into four parts is just a bit special. In fact, there’s a very real possibility that it might be a just about the best first song on a debut album since “Welcome To The Jungle” in 1987, echoes of the greats from Marillion to Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater and Genesis are all here, but the is something of the melodic rock about this too and the line “I never was the man I used to be” is one of the most thought provoking in years.
