Advantages: One Of The Best Albums Of The 90's

Disadvantages: None

Origin of Symmetry is a real desert island gem which, as well as defining my teenage years, will live with me forever! Every last detail from production to execution is spot on and every last track still sounds as outstanding as it did back in the mid 90's.

I cant even begin to go into detail about all of the stunning tracks on this record; New Born remains one of the most powerful and adrenaline fuelled live tracks ever, Bliss is still as beautiful and meaningful as it was first time I head it, Space Dementia is as comic and spaced out as the come and Citizen Erased is one of the most exciting tracks going.

To add to this, Plug In Baby is a simply awesome landmark in rock history, and the often overlooked Screenanger provides a brilliant little low key interlude in amongst the power.

What makes Origin Of Symmetry so brilliant and original is the fusion of progressive rock, rock opera and space rock with a healthy dose of piano ballad which all intermixes to create an indefinable raw power and cosmic, mesmeric rock.

The flow of the album, combined with the mix of anthems and hits without so much as one weak track makes for what truly is a classic rock, and needless to say this one is coming to the grave with me.
