Thinking Plague: Decline and Fall
La musica è nervosa e frastagliata, piena di stop and go, di ritmi dispari che vengono digeriti in souplesse dalla sezione ritmica. Il senso generale è quello di assistere a sei quadri di un dipinto complessivo che racconta una lunga cavalcata verso i territori dell'apocalisse, dove la peste del potere cerca di sterilizzare le energie positive. Non mancano riferimenti alla musica inglese, specie a quella che proviene da Canterbury e dintorni, ma i Thinking Plague dimostrano di essere soprattutto allineati alla loro stessa storia, tenendo vivo un discorso iniziato da tempo ma sempre avanti rispetto al contesto che corre loro attorno.
