Akron162 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I mean, i enjoyed it, but i get a really get a weird vibe from it. Some songs sound as they could have benn done by Marilyn Manson and others sound as they could have been made by a heavier Genesis. Im not sure if wnat to keep listening to it. Maybe im thinking to much about it, at least i has some pretty good musicianship, the vocals didnt convince that much tough. Whatever, what do you think of it?

ColdFireYYZ Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Love it. Its one of my favorites of this year so far. I hate how so many people are criticizing it for not being prog enough (this isn't directed towards you) since it was never supposed to be a prog album. My favorite tracks are Blue Ocean, Kayla, The Storm, and Infinite Fire. Even Fool In My Heart is decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you just need more listens to get its style. I can say now that i really like it. But the vocals still dont convince me.

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I adore it. There are so many styles, but everything is underpinned by strong melodies. And Casey is a fine singer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandDesigner Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 First of all, there is absolutely nothing on this album that even remotely resembles a Marilyn Manson song. Nothing. I think it's a great album. I listened to it heavily for the few weeks after it came out, and I still play it every now and then. Casey is the best decision they made.

MCM Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I love it, took a few listens to figure it out but give it time. Kayla is my least favorite; like Fool in my Heart very much. So far, second favorite album this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The K Man Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 The two hard rockers are weak (All Falls Down and CSW), and Fool in My Heart is merely okay, but the rest is really good. I doubt it will be album of the year material, but it is still a very good record, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Yeah good album, the vocals are great, good songs, nice variety too and I've been a Steve Morse fan for nearly 30 years so the guitar playing is right up my street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tick Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Its a solid record. I like listening to it. Maybe a couple of songs I could do without, but all the others are quite good. They are playing NYC. I have decided its not a record I have to see performed live, so I'm probably going to pass on them live. I have too many things going on this year.
