I wasnt sure about FWX at first but after about 10 spins... I got it! It is a great CD. Perhaps 3 weak songs but the rest are a brilliant return to form. My favorite Ray Alder era release since No Exit & Perfect Symmetry. He shows more emotion, better vocal melodies (and voice) and Jim seems invigorated again (perhaps due to OSI & "A Twist of Fate") Its not always about how heavy something is, but how well it was done.
