Album Notes & Community Reviews

Shedding their iconic colorful robes for identical black military uniforms, the massive Dallas choral-rock ensemble attempts a slightly darker, more focused aesthetic. Despite the visual shift, the album largely retains their signature bombastic, uplifting maximalism, filled with soaring choirs and sweeping orchestral crescendos.
