This is an album chock-full of some of the best AOR prog-rock I have ever heard! I had recently read in another review that the reviewer was afraid this disc would be "too metal for him".... well, I was afraid it wouldn't be "metal enough" for me! I am very proud to announce that we were both wrong! This release IS more rock than metal but can easily be digested and enjoyed by fans of prog-metal bands such as Dream Theater as well as fans of the more subdued variety of prog artists like Kerry Livgren and Yes. The production on this is probably the best I have ever heard from an independent release, big and full! The guitar riffs are listener friendly with soaring leads that keep any guitarist on the edge of his seat. I think one thing I like so much about this actually is the production, because the drums sound the way drums are supposed to sound, full and rich. If you like a "big rock" sound with some in-depth lyrics that make you think then this is the band for you.
