Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
I should thank you for asking me this. The last 3 years have been a big blur and I have barely listened to a single album in that time after being a daily listener for almost as long as I've been alive. I never really got around to giving their new stuff a proper listen and I did last night.When you compare their recent output to other bands that have tried to recapture past glories after a very long break I think they've done amazingly well.If I put on my ratings hat I would give the EP around 80-85% ...............very good without being great.But the studio album State of Deception is fantastic for an old Conception fan (if you can take the slightly lighter sound overall).........plenty of variety/complexity but also the shorter bangers like No Rewind which is killer......with further listening it may well rate as their most consistent album. If you include Monument In Time (from the deluxe version which I may well get) then I'd be rating it around 90%. It's a shame that the first real song on the album (Of Raven and Pigs) is by far the worst track and something I would skip. I haven't paid any attention to the lyrics or concept (if there is one) but perhaps that track serves a purpose in that regard. But yeah - dump that track and replace it with Monument In Time and I'd give the album 92%. So nice to hear an album these days with relatively clear sonics too rather than a muddy wall of bass/guitar/keys that are almost indistinguishableTheir art is always killer too

would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now?
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.
This gentleman has taste, folks.

Just popping in to say Luke, you were right.
Oh seneca, how you've warmed my heart this evening.
