When they push the envelope a bit their sound comes off unique and interesting. The change
ups work well, though I'd say the harsh vocals are sometimes overdone, mainly because when
they revert to verses with harsh vocals their sound comes across a little generic. Definitely
worth checking out though, as they incorporate a saxophone and keys throughout songs which
are sometimes subtle and other times central to the soundscape they are creating. "Trash
Island" is straight out hilly billy rock/metal (reminds me of Maylene and the Sons of
Disaster). The standout tracks for me are "Old Stories" and "The Projector". |

| I am not a big fan of the power metal genre, and more checked it out for the progressive elements. There is a good range of vocals (for a variety of artists), and there are different musical influences throughout. However the Euro power metal dominates. No "bad" songs, but no real stand out songs for me. |

| Not really any "bad" songs on this album, however no real stand outs for me either. A solid album without anything really ground-breaking (or should that be head banging?). I know a few aren't happy with the political views of Robb on this album, however I feel that it actually adds to this album where the music is largely what you'd expect from Machine Head (without exerting too much effort). After a few more listens I might up my rating, but unless a track really stands out for me on repeat, I don't see it being anything better than "good". |

| A solid djent / ambient metal album that wouldn't be too bad having play in the background whilst you work, study or play around. Definitely lacking points of differences between the songs ... very much could play through as a single track. I personally like a bit more variety between songs, especially when they are instrumental as you need that point of difference to identify each one.rCould possibly rate higher after a few listens but nothing on this album really stood out to me on a first listen. Solid without really exploring their sound too much. |

| Very similar sound to Dream Theater in parts (a little less complex). Most of the sounds have good riffs and get you going, however there is nothing spectacular on the album. It is a very enjoyable listen and is a good solid album, without really being a stand out. No real poor songs on the album. |
