4 stars This disc took a few listens for me to really enjoy it. I appreciated it after the first listen, for all of the aforementioned technical reasons but I'm not one for the high register wailing that acts as the wrapping paper for the music. I didn't like that style of vocal work when I was a kid and I still find it less than effective now, however after the third or fourth listen when my brain began to filter out the wannabe Ian Gillan style vocals I found that the album deserved more than just respect. This is a fun bit of music. It's challenging and has some incredibly enjoayble moments. Fountainhead is a spectacular piece of writing, it's really the song that made me give the whole disc a second look. I'm glad I did, this is in rotation in my playlist on a regular basis.
