Review Score: (10/10)
In a single year, 1905, Einstein published two earth shattering papers, each of which would have independently changed the world. I found listening to this album a similar, nearly unfathonable achievement for a single human mind...Roland Orzabal is one of the greatest musical talents of the century, and I have listened to thousands of artists over the preceding 25 years as a very serious music afficando. Essentially every song is a masterpiece, with deep social meaning, and the musical score in 'Swords and Knives' leaves one in sheer awe, wondering of the origins of Orzabal's creative energies. Listening to this album is perhaps comparable to viewing, for the first time, the Sistine Chapel. It is that magnificent. If you could take only 10 CDs in the world with you on a deserted island for the next half century, this would be one of them.
