Are You Sitting Comfortably?" was IQ's fourth studio album, released in 1989. It follows the same musical direction they took with their previous album "Nomzamo" (1987). This album became the second and last album with Paul Menel on vocals. The music on this album could be described as a mix between how GENESIS, MARILLION, SAGA and YES are sounding today. The highlights are "War Heroes", "Drive On", "Sold on You" and the epic progressive masterpiece "Wurensh". This album is really good although IQ have released better ones. Sitting Comfortably?'' IQ mix these elements in the same compositions, resulting some long arrangements by the band,where the grandiose symphonic keyboards are combined with the catchy choruses. Of course there are also a couple of Pop Rock tracks added for good measure like ''Drive on'' or ''Sold on you'', which are pretty excellent regarding the.

Are You Sitting Comfortably? IQ. Released February 1989. Are You Sitting Comfortably? Tracklist.

Are You Sitting Comfortably? is the second album without former vocalist Peter Nicholls, who did return for 1994's Ever. Paul Menel takes over the singing here, and while his efforts are average sounding, the progressive aspect of IQ remains to be heard throughout this release. The acute depth of the Mellotron or the intertwined guitar work from past albums like Tales From the Lush Attic or Seven Stories Into Eight are nowhere to be found on these nine tunes. Instead, more of a rock/avant-garde vapor steams up slowly as the songs go by, with nothing of grandeur developing on any track
