Album Notes & Community Reviews
Decades after pioneering the entire progressive metal genre, the American legends continue to demonstrate their enduring technical and compositional mastery. The album features incredibly sharp, muscular guitar riffs anchored by Ray Alder's remarkably preserved, highly emotive vocal performances. It was widely celebrated as one of the most inspired and cohesive late-career albums in the progressive metal sphere.
