Notes:  While I Love the cover of this record I'm not too crazy about some of the content. Maybe it's just that the vocals tend to seem out of place or forced into place at times. Once the band puts its head down and focuses on playing the music at hand then it all seems to come together and sound like the Return we know and respect. The cover illustration has the music acting as the catalyst to create all of nature in its glory. Nice use of color and detail.
