Cet album est un vrai petit bijoux. Prêt de 2 heures de musiques trés eclectiques.
On passe de morceaux prog à des séquences de piano classique (Love beyond words), du canon acapella (une habitude pour ce groupe), des groupes de cuivres (sur Snow's night out).
Il y a des morceaux "ballades" avec Carie et d'autres plus musclés avec Devil's got my throat.
Le tout restant toujours trés rock progressif jusqu'au final.
Bref du grand art de Neal Morse juste avant de quitter le groupe.
On en redemande.
