Title: What the...?
Review: I bought this album on the strength of the first single from this album (The Dark is Rising).When I first played it, I thought "What the [heck] have I got here?" My immediate reaction was that I had spent my hard earnt cash on [junk]. After the second play of it (I always give things a chance), I can remember thinking "this is better then when I first played it". Third play even better, forth play - better still. Thats the thing with this album - it gets better every time you listen to it! Numbers 1,5 & 7 are my favorite tracks but they are all great! Hercules is mastery and the small "saw music" infill between track 4 & 5 is pure genius and quite magical!(Especially when it goes from one saw and melds seemlessly into two,creating an intertwining duet of unusual but beautifull music) BUY THIS and give it a chance! You may be dissapointed, but play it again and THEN decide! 5 out of 5. This is now my favorite album - I can't imagine my cd collection without it!
