Album Notes & Community Reviews

The second installment in the 'Act' saga is a sprawling and eclectic fan-favorite that continues the protagonist's story. The album documents his experiences with love and heartbreak through a dizzying array of styles, from sweeping progressive rock epics and anthemic emo-pop to whimsical cabaret and folk passages. It's a passionate and compositionally brilliant chapter that showcases the full breadth of Casey Crescenzo's vision.
