This progressive rock band can write some very moving songs. * "Heartattack in a Lay By"? Steven Wilson's mournful voice, the final verse of the song, and the sad keyboard make this the saddest song ever. The guy in the song had a fight with his wife and goes to cool off in a rest stop, but dies of a heart attack before he goes back. * * The beauty of the album that song is from is that all the songs are pretty ambiguous and can be interpreted any way you want, but the song takes on a darker tone when you think about the fact that it's on a concept album about psychopaths and serial killers. Especially when you learn about Fred West, suddenly the last four tracks on the album -- including this one -- seemed to fit in with the story of how West was caught and brought to justice.
