These guys have come a LOOONG way since their first album! When I first heard their first album, I thought it was pretty good, but did not really "grab" me like i hoped. However, when I heard the second album, I was utterly blown away. I was like "Holy Shit! Is that the same band?!?" From what I am hearing here, it seems they are able to take it another huge step forward. I am really liking what I am hearing here and looking forward to hearing this new album.
That was so much fun when I got to hang out with these guys at ProgPower VIII (or was it VII, cannot remember) when they were in the room next to me and Dave's at the Sitty-8 that one year. The keyboardist is the keyboard tech for ProgPower. A really great bunch of guys and glad to see/hear them advance their band musically as much as they have over the past few years.
