    This truly is a magnificent record. Masterfully made and recorded. Parsons really has learned a lot from producing other albums. The sound effect are endless, instruments clean and very well separated. All vocalists give their best performances ever. Together with I Robot and Tales the best you will ever listen to the Project.
