####Potential Discussion Questions:

• Certainly this album is a bit overshadowed by its behemoth predecessor (Thick as a Brick) - how do you think the album compares to TAAB? How do you think the album fares against other, similar concept albums (Foxtrot and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway come to mind)?

• How would you personally rate the album?

• Are there any moments on the album you consider particularly strong or particularly weak (i.e., favourite/least favourite moments)?
