I am not one to spend money on many CD's. So for me to rush out and pick up one off the shelf without a second thought is amazingly rare. All that I can say is that this album is worth every penny. Not only does the band turn a corner musically, but also the subject matter and the concept hit you in ways previously not done. The narrative style implemented by the band is quite interesting and draws you into this world they have created. And for all you who like details check out the typo on the last line of Tom's letter, is it intentional or not? Well done guys, well done indeed!
