Very well written review though..

It’s a grower in the vocal department because I have never liked Tommy Rogers’ harsh vox very much. This is one of the few bands where I let the vocals slide because of the musicianship involved.

This album is definately a grower, and it hasn’t really clicked with me yet, but I think it will be similar to Colors in that respect, although I think the new one is even more artsy or abstract, whatever you want to call it.

I have no doubt that these guys are STUNNING musicians, but their songwriting is going to be the key sticking point for most people. They’re one of those bands that will always be too proggy for the metal kids and too metal for the prog nerds.

Definately in the top 5 for the year for me though.

I loved Alaska, but for some reason Colors never fully clicked with me. Though now that this one has blown me away so much, I think I should dig out and spend some time with Colors to see if it sticks. Good review Erik.
