The third album from this band from USA.
The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, chapman stick, keyboards and vocals.
A guest added his keyboards on one of the compositions.
This band album debuted in 2005 with their Welcome Humans album. An album I reviewed one week ago. I reviewed their second album for # 2 of this blog back in 2019 when it was released. I like both albums a lot.
We are in the middle of the symphonic prog genre in this album. Seventy minutes of it. The music is very complex at times.
It feels like the band is barely holding onto the ideas and compositions throughout these seventy minutes. The ambitions is bigger than the abilities and some of the music falls a bit flat on it's face.
Most of the stuff is good though. But it is hard to overlook the flaws of this album.
The band can and should do better. Nevertheless, symphonic prog fans should seek out their three albums.
2.5 points
