The second album from this band from USA.
The band was a ten piece big band with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, piano, woodwinds and vocals.
Their 1993 debut album At The End Of The Day was not an impressive album. It was in fact pretty close to be a dire album.
Nevertheless, the band soldiered on and we got this album.
A one hour long album, no less, with a mix of pomp prog, commercial rock and some US neo-prog.
Pomp is the word here as the music is big and bold. It is also melodic and has some good hooks.
The vocals is pretty good. The woodwinds is.... weird and has no use here. It seems like the band was trying to break through to the tamla-motown fans too. Like those who liked the first Phil Collins album. Weird.
The result is a decent enough album. It is not an album for the prog rock fans but nevertheless....
