Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The concept album is one that never seems to lose its power to enthral and entertain, yet it does find itself in a position that in modern times is lost to audiences who seek the immediate rather than the tradition of the slow reveal. It may only be experience which stops Lore from taking a more direct, physical aspect on today’s times, but there is also the element of the fantastical, the extraordinary and the epic that many now dismiss as being irrelevant, as being unconnected to the era of what seems to have thrust upon us via austerity and being neglected.
