Not expecting the expected, they fell to the machine with only a faint whisper. “They have no voice,” cried I, I, the lonely island. And I became oh, but a drifter. For once, I was a flame on fire for you; the beast just looked as appealing, just not as soon. It pulled me under. I was swoon. I am now but a drifter. We are now one, no more sun. The modest beast sings to me, "La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la." The modest beast sings to me, "La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la." La, la, la! La, la, la! La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! The past three years of this tribulation, I've been in a constant struggle, smothering myself with questioning the answer you gave me. So here, I wholly submit; knees pressed in the ash. I think... No, no, no... I know I am now ready to let my guard down for you to break through this wall. The beast will try to swindle me, but I will flee despite his beauty. All in all... My eyes have been shut, when thought to be opened. Now I see the truth; your brand. Slaves sing, “Dominus, dominus, oh quam vos es eligantimus.” The beast says, “You look tired, let me sing you to sleep... to sleep... sleep...” La, la, la! La, la, la! La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! The modest beast sings to me, "La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la." The modest beast sings to me, "La, la, la." Sing them to sleep.

This time, there's really nothing to moan about! I've criticized the band's previous two albums for containing too much pointless improvisations, while, at the same time, I highly appreciated the brilliant songwriting. "Farmhouse Odyssey" have used the past three years wisely for perfecting the latter, and I like the way they root their music in the sound of the 70's, while avoiding the annoying stereotypes of this decade. I'm especially pleased to find a 12-minute track here, that doesn't sound like assembled from parts in the beginner's prog construction kit. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
