It has to be the worst band ever to exist at any moment in time ever .......UB**

There isn't anything on Suite that I would skip and the addition of Relentless and Spectre make it a very good quality album imo.....there are 5 tracks on DM I don't listen to , the acoustic stuff basically and that's the difference to me , the whole of Suite is worthy of listening.....Breathe , Do...

Cutting , noses and faces springs to mind , had what you said been the case , I would have jumped at this , as it is why get what I already have

One of the reviews I read compared his voice to Frank Sidebottom which on one or two tracks is actually a very fair description. The album is good.

I think it can stand head and shoulders with any song from any era , one of a very few classic tracks that they have done since Hugh left , and to me as good as anything they have done .

I might ask this question .........given that so many rated DM so highly , yet currently it trails Suite by 15-14 ( closer than I imagined ) , had the band released Suite in the past year , how highly would it have been rated ?
