I'm a fan. I have enjoyed all the Flower Kings and Transatlantic albums I've heard including this one.

If you have appreciated this band's other albums, you'll certainly like this one too - unmistakably their sound and as usual a few nice surprises here and there.

"Numbers" is the opening track, and it is a corker! Hooked me in right away. The rest of the album is made up of shorter songs but they add up to a continuous feast of symphonic prog, with pinches of achingly beautiful blues guitar thrown in to warm your heart.

It has only one weaker track as far as I can tell - "Going Up", but even that is a pretty good pop song, just not by the band's normal standards.

Overall, a good solid 4 "Excellent addition to any prog rock music collection" - I'd recommend it to anyone interested in Prog or rock in general.
