Origin Of Symmetry is possibly the finest rock album of it's time. It's like a journey through space - it's writing and recording was heavily influenced by Hyperspace, a book by Michio Kaku that explores the origin of symmetry - the beginning of the universe. As soon as you hear the piano intro to first track New Born, you know you're on to something good. If it hasn't already grabbed you by the lapels, wait for the skull-crushing guitar riff to start. Rock 'n roll! And then track two. Bliss gently eases you into another hard rocking track with it's deceptive piano arpeggios, and then by the chorus, the soaring vocals start. Oh my. Space Dementia is a wonderfully creepy piano-based track that oozes venom at the unknown. Then Plug In Baby. Wow. This was recently voted one of the top tracks to play Air Guitar to, and I must admit: It really is. Citizen Erased: 7:19 of utter mindblowing rock. This has possibly one of the best guitar solos around, with a beautiful, heart-aching piano-backed ending. The penultimate track, Feeling Good, is a Nina Simone track - but not as you know it. It's given a new lease of rock-life and funks up the album brilliantly. The final track, Megalomania, offers exactly what you'd want from a track with a name like that. Epic church organs, ear-splittingly high vocals (from a man, no less!) and thoughtful lyrics. This is just a big chunk of neo-prog. Yes please!
