Most recent, 2006 effort from the long-running Legendary Pink Dots. This is like their twenty-fifth record (not counting compilations) and it seems that Edward Ka-Spel and crew hasn't lost a beat. Tunes here that I, personally liked best were "No Matter What You Do", the sedate "Peace Of Mind", the well played "The Made Man's Manifesto" and "Silver Thread". Couldn't help but to notice the Silverman's {aka Phillip Knight} electronic wizardry on the keyboards. His work has never disappointed me on any Dots release. I saw the band play a club on this very tour just before Syd Barrett's death and even before Syd had passed, I kept thinking how much Ka-Spel as well as the entire band reminded me so much of the missed Pink Floyd founder.

too low key , too many slow drofting tunes ,Not the variety of most of their other stuff . I am a big fan of LPD , but this is poor stuff , by their standards

Their best album since All the Kings Men imho, although now surpassed by Plutonium Blonde, this album is great; although they get softer as they age, their musical compositions grow more complex and beautiful. There are some tracks on this album which are all time dots greatest hits such as Peace of Mind.

Ka-Spel, The Silverman and co return to give us an eerie adventure into musical composition that is simply spell binding. What a great way to celebrate 25 years! A great album!

Excellent, another classic Dots album.. they`re best album since `All The Kings Horses` (2002) and they`re strangest album since `Malachai`(1992).
For fans of: Pink Floyd, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, Coil, Current 93, Nurse With Wound, Thighpaulsandra and other interesting and original musick way out there..

This album is really awesome. After 25 years the Legendary Pink Dots still know how to write original, incredible music. A must have!

25th anniversary! But they're still putting out excellent albums. In fact, there's so much material I can't keep the older albums straight. That's okay, just rotate them into itunes on occasion.

I think this is a wonderful Dots album. Does anyone know if Ka-Spel is religious? I'm kinda confused about the Jesus reference. I don't care for religion so i'd really be bummed out. Still a great album.
