    It's difficult to sit through, yes, but that could well be Herbert's smartest reflection of the times. [May 2019, p.112]

    The State Between Us has some brilliant moments, but those moments are too stretched out: many of the tracks could have been half their length and been equally effective, and some could have been cut altogether for not holding together as pieces of music. However, even at its lowest ebbs it retains some intrigue from its novelty, and the sheer ambition of the album is not to be faulted.

    With too many dirge-like instrumentals, the album is overlong, under-focused and, like the Brexit process, hard work.
