I say 9 out of 10, but that's just me.
I never thought about the Killer and Refugees connection... good call. I guess Peter Hammill had those themes continually floating around in his head.

I had always thought of this album as an 8 or 9, but then after re-listening to a few times with headphones and while reading the lyrics... it boasted it to a 10... really pretty powerful stuff.
