Album Notes & Community Reviews

Displaying a remarkable dexterity, the band's second album manages to seamlessly integrate challenging odd time signatures into highly melodic, uplifting stadium pop. The expansive title track epic highlights their sheer musicianship, drawing natural comparisons to the classic 1970s progressive era while maintaining slick modern production values. It remains a highly regarded cult classic among enthusiasts of intelligent, technical pop rock.
