Wil1972 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Outside of Driven, Resist and Time and Motion, TFE really is hit and miss. Some mediocre tracks. Though I will say Carve Away the Stone never fails to be an odd little earworm for me.It is annoyingly intriguing, isn't it? :P A clever element of the song is how the aimless, meandering yet circular repetition of the song mirrors the punishment endured by the cursed Sisyphus. Sisyphus, Ixion, and Tantalus... https://www.ancient....n-and-tantalus/ It certainly gets stuck in my head! :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I don't even know if it's their worst album, but it's definitely the least interesting, which puts it squarely at the bottom for me. At least I can remember how bad most of Roll the Bones is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edhunter Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Horrible record. By far the worst in the catalogue. At least with Caress of Steel they could say they were young and going for it. They didn't have that excuse with T4E. I'll never forget hearing the title track for the first time and thinking "Well. They had a good run." Some of thosr songs I haven't heard in over 20 years. I just noticed I don't even have it on my phone. Caress Of Steel is a near masterpiece. Near as in Boston is near Tokyo perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeson90 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Is a great album but i too felt the general sound a let-down after Counterparts, thing about this band is they never did same thing twice, is like with TFE they went for polar opposite of CP, i'd have preferred a less seismic change like that between AFTK - Hemispheres maybe but hey it is what it is we got what we got is still a great album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grover Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 And the strange thing is, they made a point on insisting on recording the drums at Bearsville I believe to get a good drum sound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
