Maybe not my favorite (Dream Sequencer/Migrator and Human Equation are up there), but certainly the one I would recommend for people just getting started with his work. A lot of stand out moments, but for me Across the Rainbow Bridge is just amazing, especially when he starts layering the vocals towards the end.

This album reminds me of the first star wars in its big fat goofiness.

i love almost every minute on it.

Yup, strange how the other albums' reviews here are quoted much higher.

for me personally, i don't think its as consistent. the pacing is weird. right off the bat are the two longest songs on the album etc. and it asks a lot of the listener right away instead of easing into it.

this doesn't make it better or worst, but it makes it harder for me to listen to it all in one sitting
