his words:

Some pretty awesome stuff, IMO! Very retro, lovely Brian May-style guitars, a touch of mellotron, some Rush-like rhythms. I love it!

This is the -best- new rock band I've heard in a long ass time. Thanks for the recommendation.

At first the singer didn't ring well for me but a few songs later I liked him. It wasn't that he was bad, but he (nor anybody) is Freddy Mercury and well anytime I think Queen while listening to other bands, the other band is at a disadvantage. But this guy can really sing well.

This band also seems to draw some influence from Pink Floyd. Especially in their way of approaching the concept.

Highly enjoyable. On my top 10 list immediately.

I'm totally digging what I've heard so far as well. This is definitely something I'll pick up in my next haul if not sooner.

Edit: Be sure to check out this video as well which shows the lead singer/guitarist/bassist/keyboardist in action. Very few multi-instrumentalists can pull off what this guy does. Color me impressed!
