Album Notes & Community Reviews

Establishing the theatrical, keyboard-drenched sound that would define their enduring career, the Birmingham quintet's debut ambitiously bridges heavy rock muscle with progressive grandeur. Bob Catley's soaring vocals and Tony Clarkin's dynamic songwriting explore fantastical narratives and dramatic musical shifts. It laid a sturdy foundation for the burgeoning melodic rock movement in the UK.
