I voted 'good.' I wasn't exactly enamored by it, but I certainly enjoyed the album as a whole. I also felt that the album had a much folkier sound to it than Gentle Giant's other albums. This was shown by songs, such as "Talybont" (which had a more medieval sound to it) and "On Reflection" which was my favorite track and that, like tore said, is an A Capella song. Although, it did towards the end use a few instruments like the flute, violin, and xylophone(?). I also thought that "Mobile" was an interesting song as well. It had that classic prog organ that we all know and love, but it also had a sort of Irish feel to it with the use of the violin.
