If you like melodic prog that leans on the AOR side of the equation, you are likely to enjoy this release. It's a solid set that has some moments of sheer brilliance. It does tend to feel a little monolithic at times, though. Still, as something that you don't pay close attention to, it's sure to hold up better. Mind you, that's not a real complaint. Every song here is good. There just tends to be a "samey" quality to a lot of it. Of course, if you only listen to a song or two at time, that will never be an issue.
