U.K.'s debut album is a force to be reckoned with if you're a prog-rock fan, and even if you're a jazz fan.

If Mr. Mike DeGagne of the All Music Guide had so much good to say about this album, why did he give it only four out of five stars? Oh well, nobody's perfect... that is, except the lineup for this album! Everything Mr. DeGagne said about this album is true. Bruford's masterfully precise timing is well felt throughout the album, without sounding the same. Jobson's electric violin delivers a deep impact as a soloing instrument and throws the listener into waves of musical profundity. Wetton's bass carries its own with the tempo as Allan Holdsworth offers spectacular guitar work.

All in all, this album is a masterpiece, and sounding nothing like any tedious work that comes along with having four outstanding geniuses in the lineup.
