    They push forward by recasting the music around them and assimilate it into who they already are. [Apr 2019, p.88]

    Easily as satisfying as The Tower, The Crucible builds on its predecessor's achievement with brilliant composition, inspired performance, and consummate musicianship. It is an excellent example of how to mine rock's past in order to discover its future.

    There's a sort of crazy idealism to their music which brings them tantalizingly close to such sources, while becoming increasingly indomitably themselves. [Apr 2019, p.84]

    This can be a polarizing LP, especially for fans who are turned on by their poppier side (myself included) or ‘90s works. In spite of that, I believe this musical vertigo is actually a minutely crafted conceptual piece that represents a peak in their career.
