This is more pop oriented, but it still has some rock energy. The mix is a little more of an issue here, but again it’s not the level of being really distracting.

There is something that just feels jarring and off about this track. Some of it is the mix. Some of it is the way the different parts interact. Whatever it is, though, this one is a failure as far as I’m concerned. I’d skip this one. There are some things here that do work, but you have to get through some of the other parts to hear it. I don’t think it’s worth it.

Piano strings and male vocals open this. It again feels a little awkward, but not as bad as the previous tune. It’s a balladic piece that has some definite charms.

More of a pop styled piece, this is better than some of the rest. It’s sort of a power ballad motif. It has some particularly potent music as it soars later.

Another ballad with male vocals, this one works better than the previous one did. It shifts to female vocals later, and the track gets more intense further down the road, too. It’s another winner.

The energy on this is good. There are hints of jazz in the mix. There are also elements about it that don’t work all that well together. This is a track that seems like it should be better than it is. It’s not bad, but it seems like it should be a standout if done a little better.

Featuring both male and female vocals, this also has a symphonically arranged song structure. This is one of the highlights of the disc. It just works really well. It has great energy and evolution.

This is a powerful, proggy piece of music. It has some powerful and evocative sections. It’s a bit more rocking than some of the rest. There are some hints of psychedelia, too.

On the one hand, this is a cool rocker that has some intriguing changes and some hints of prog. The thing is, the mix feels a little muddy and lacking. This is another case where it’s a shame because this could be so much better than it is. It has the hooks, the performance and the song stricture to be a pure winner.

A bit more of a mainstream power ballad approach is on the menu here. It is effective, but a little too middle-of-the-road for my tastes.

This is a pretty interlude that uses more symphonic elements and non-lyrical vocals to present a beautiful arrangement. It’s one of my favorite tracks here.

Piano and strings create the backdrop for the entrance of male vocals. The track works out to more of a rocking arrangement after the first verse.

This has a good energy and flow. It’s a symphonically arranged tune. It’s another standout.

More balladic, this is evocative and rather pretty. It isn’t really a highlight, though.

A duet, this is rather precious in its mellow arrangement. It’s pretty effective, but a little samey.
