An amazing concept album! This album is the skill peak of the band, and it just has so many great tracks.

An expansive progressive rock opera, not the first band to make one, and thus nothing majorly groundbreaking, like early 70's prog-rock concept albums; however they were really free to explore, and give us an expansive, theatrical almost literary take on a more elaborate Genesis record.
