Production is right trash, but the music is awesome. Not as good as they would become, especially from The Mountain, but good none-the-less. A lot of the quirk and throwing everything at the wall approach heard on Aquarius, which of course leads to some not-so-fitting passages and transitions. Most of them work really well however. The closer (Snow)'s chorus would be used on Crystallised off the Restoration EP years later. There is also still a lot of blatant Dream Theater on here, which would also mostly start dissipation come The Mountain and even more on Affinity. Manifold in particular is structured just like Erotomania with some melodic similarities too.
