Album Notes & Community Reviews

The legendary Genesis guitarist proves his enduring compositional vitality with a sprawling, highly melodic concept album that functions as an autobiographical narrative. Blending bombastic hard rock guitar solos with grandiose symphonic prog orchestration, the record is wildly eclectic and surprisingly energetic. It is a highly theatrical, flawlessly executed addition to his massive solo catalog.
