Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Dutch symphonic rock group perfects their synthesis of lush, classically-inspired orchestration and accessible, highly melodic pop-rock[cite: 1]. Dominated by Ton Scherpenzeel's expansive keyboard work, the album explores deeply sentimental themes of romance and heartbreak within a polished, progressive framework[cite: 1].
