The third and final album from this band from USA.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
This band's first two albums has not exactly impressed me. Their mix of pomp rock, commercial rock and neo-prog has this US sound and is very melodic. The problem is the band's lack of ability to write good, even decent songs.
This one hour long album continues in the same vein as the first two albums.
The vocals is decent although it sounds strained and limited. There are some good guitar solos and hooks here. The keyboards is somewhere in the mix, neither adding quality or making this album worse than it is. The sound is not particular good and this album tends to loose the attention of the listener halfway through the album.
The band comes up very short when it comes to writing songs. The quality is not there. The band is also a bit undecided about writing prog songs or commercial rock songs.
The result is a decent album from a band who, for some good reasons, never got their commercial breakthrough.
