In which case this record has a fairly good APP feel, while also leaning towards a bent sounding almost like STYX...! A quasi-Medieval "Middle Ages" concept, besides...

Get past some of the Air Supply-like vocalizing, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer indulgence, which, sadly, De Burgh does sometimes have a tendency towards, and this is a fairly decent listen...
