Nothing new here. - I have been in an insatiable mood lately for new progressive rock music buying CDs on a daily basis. I have uncovered some superb new bands such as Riverside, Abigail s Ghost, Frost, Phideaux with the first two named bands being absolutely exceptional. I was encouraged by other reviews to try IQ and this album particularly as being an exceptional and representative example. I think what one reviewer said sums it all up. IQ have managed to be what they are because they simple outlasted everyone else. I was sorely disappointed with this album for its total lack of anything original and new. Musically its fine progressive rock but it is not original. Yes it is Genesis, come Marillion etc. but one thing it is not is anything like Seconds Out. Overall I found the album flat and uninspiring...sorry.
An amazing group! - I recently discovered this group. What a loss, to spend so many years never knowing. But I m making up for lost time. This is easily one of the most listenable prog groups and satisfying live cd s I could name. Leap of Faith alone is worth the price! I LOVE THIS MUSIC!!!
Really great ! - Very good double Live album from I.Q. The sound is just perfect.Vey good choice of music, great versions, some even better than the studio tracks. Recommanded if you are new to I.Q., if you want to discover a great prog band.
I watched this for months - Great concert video from the masters... I watched this for months prior to giving it as a gift. I wrapped it up like it was new... I also kept the CD and program that came with it.
THE PROG SMACKS - AWESOME LIVE CDS OF THE INCREDIBLE IQ- THE ENEMY SMACKS IS SIMPLY AMAZING AND THAT IS ONLY ONE OF MANY GREAT SONGS. THIS CD RANKS WITH KISS ALIVE, GENESIS SECONDS OUT AND HOAX LIVE AT SMELSONS AS A POWERFUL LIVE STATEMENT.
