Title: Plague, and "the Rest"
Product review: I'd divide this album into two sections, "Plague of Ghosts", which covers the whole second half of the album, and "The Rest". From the earlier comments, it's fairly obvious that the "Plague of Ghosts" suite is brilliant, so I won't dwell on that. I just wanted to make a couple of comments on "The Rest". It's mostly good, but I'd avoid "Rites of Passage," and to a lesser extent, "Tilted Cross". In the former, Fish's vocals and lyrics, which are good, are overshadowed by a sop. sax. solo which sounds like something Kenny G. would do. Yuk. "Tilted Cross" is Ok, but kind of leaves me flat. It feels a little too thin. On the other hand, "Incomplete," and "Faith Healer" are both excellent. "Incomplete" is a beutiful duet/ballad, and "Faith Healer" absolutely rocks. More than anything, I'd say these two tracks carry the whole first side.
