4 stars The written process of the album started during The Similitude tour when Neal was supposed to take a break, but his passion for music pushed him to produce another double concept album that follows the story of Similitude Dream by telling the story of the father and the son searching for a meaning in life. There are some recurrent themes from Similitude in the new album and with every Neal Morse's album. But this time, the same modern symphonic prog rock has enough new spices to gives something refreshing. We have the Prog extravaganza parts with classical arrangements and some long instrumental break spice up especially in the second cd with a good dose of Prog Metal. I am guessing that Mike and Eric had been the source of inspiration here. We still have the more standard rock song and some ballad to complete the circle of a good story. Neal leaves a lot of space to the others vocalists which sound like a band's effort. So, this album is heavier than anything Neal has ever touch and show another side of the creative sound of the band.
