#3643 Crack the Sky - Crack the Sky

4.5/5 there were a handful of prog bands you could call playful, in a classical bullshit sense (see, say, Happy the Man) but this might the only prog album where you felt like the band was having any actual fucking _fun; was interested in you having some too, in an actual rock and roll sense. There's all those start-stops and strange Scary structures, but it's in the service of humor, headbobbing, maybe even dancing. Goddamn delightful, Thin Lizzy / Cheap Trick listenable, with all that arty archness just there to put a hitch in your hipmoves. Killer fucking album flow (Robots for Ronnie aside) too
