Review by Adam M on August 26, 2026.
This is a good album that has the feeling that is required to make for a good progressive rock album and the right flow for a complete experience. The mood created is one of wonder and this is fairly interesting and convenient for the listener.
The musicianship is solid here with a crisp production job that is superior to earlier albums and a very interesting slant on the progressive genre. The music is good and has a great deal of interesting moments and memorable portions. This is certainly well performed and very tight in terms of the musicianship.
The problem with the disc lies in its inability to defeat Awaken the Guardian as that remains the band’s most concrete work with a whimsical aura attached. There is still a great deal of memorable moments and this remains the best album with Ray Alder singing perhaps.
All in all, I enjoyed the album and found it to be one of the best albums in the progressive music genre. It is a staple for the genre and very impressive indeed. Fans of the band’s other material will like it very much.
Rating: 7.8 out of 10
