The eight album from this band from USA.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, lap steel guitar, keyboards, synths and vocals.
The band was supported by a classical orchestra and a string ensemble.
The band was by now one of the biggest bands in the broad church genre called "heavy metal". They were and still is the biggest band in progressive metal. They have also spawned lots of copycat bands.
Something I can understand as their music is the winning formula.
On this album, that is a mix of symphonic prog and progressive metal. Mostly the latter one, it has to be said.
The vocals is great and the band also delivers a lot of very interesting details.
This album is seventy-five minutes and not everything here pass the test of time... or my test.
This is not of their better albums. It is still a good album and one to check out.
