This comes in ambient with the sound of a storm along with mellow music. After the half-minute mark it drives out to hard rocking territory with definite hints of Dream Theater. It drops to a percussive arrangement for the entrance of the vocals. As the arrangement fills out again it makes me think of both Rush and King’s X in some ways. This continues to grow and evolve. It’s inventive, unique and really rocks.

Driving and energized, this has a real modern prog angle to it. Then it drops down after a while in that fast mode to a mellower section. It drives back out into a jam that has both modern and classic prog angles built into it. The track has a number of twists and turns and some frantically crazed jamming at times.

This has more of that King’s X vibe at times. The track is still decidedly prog, but it’s a little less dynamic than the two songs that preceded it were.

I really love the vocal arrangement on this. The track has some great hard rock in its foundation. It’s also proggy, though. Those King’s X references are valid on this. It has some hints of metal, too. There is some particularly hot guitar work on this. There is also a drop back to some rather jazzy stuff for a while. More standard prog jamming emerges from there.

The vocal arrangement on this is great. The song combines mainstream rock and roll with proggy tendencies. That King’s X thing is definitely in play here. The bass really gets to shine mid-track. They fire out with some smoking hot prog jamming from there. This is packed full of intriguing twists and turns, and really has some of the most decidedly progressive rock of the whole disc later.

The fast-paced, rocking, yet quirky riffing that opens this is so cool. This is driving and has some metallic angles at times. Yet, it’s also full-on guitar heavy prog.

Intricate, mellower sounds get things going here. It eventually drives out to more rocking stuff built around that concept. The track works through a number of twists and turns as it continues.

The opening section here somehow makes me think of Yes just a little. It turns a corner, getting into more Rush-like stuff. The track continues to evolve with more of the King’s X stuff in the mix at times.

While not a big change, this song is not exactly like anything else here. It has some great hooks and plenty of that King’s X thing at play. The mellower section at the end is intriguing and takes it to spaciness to end.

Coming in more melodic, this has an intricate mellow vibe. A saxophone lends a different feel to the piece, too. The guitar soloing on this is so expressive and powerful. The track continues to evolve from there. After it ends we get the same storm sounds that opened the album, making it a circular journey.
