This album is very inspiring, it rocks, has peaceful psychedelics, theatrical... Absolutely essential if you have a mind.
Best songs: "Saviour Machine", "Width of a Circle", "All the Madmen" "Running Gun Blues", "She shook me cold", "After All".
The Beatles and The Stones are simple jokes compared to this.
