The second album from this band from USA.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, chapman stick, guitars, keyboards, piano, synths and vocals.
The band had help from some guests who provided drums, guitar solos, backing vocals and a choir.
This band's 2018 self-titled debut album created quite a lot of waves in the prog rock scene. And with good reasons.
The band's style back then and also on their second album is a mix of good and old symphonic prog. Take the likes of Mystery, Kansas and Yes. Add in some Big Big Train too and you get it.
The Queen influences has gone from their sound though. There was some of them on their debut album.
The music is big and epic. It is also bould and uncompromising symphonic.
The vocals is very good indeed and the songs are pretty long.
My only gripe with this album is that the band has not really come up with quality songs and compositions this time. Something is missing and that is songs and compositions that is really memorable.
That aside, this is a good album and one well worth checking out.
