2 stars After listening this album, I understand why Crossover Prog. Because this album has everything, with its advantages and disadvantages. Symphonic, Folk, even Funk - The Visitor Pop, Blues - Crazy Dog, Rock'n'Roll, Swing, Soul, Jazz, common Rock, circus like song - one part of The Cyclone (you know them when you hear them), Atmospheric sounds - beginning of Sangius Draconis which then continues into mixture of different styles. Even some undefinable things like Can't You Feel It, which reminds me Sheryl Crow's "All I Wanna Do" a little bit.

You understand now why I called it "everything" ? I used this term few times. Not so often, but I did that. But this time, it's the first time I feel that its true meaning has come through.

Everything is with (sometimes) wild keyboards set even looser on their lash. Vocals are pleasant (when they should be, they're raw'n'wild when they have to be - Sangius...), even they're bit too same, I mean the same way of singing.

I suppose that this project was very fun to make. Maybe its makers were even trying to mix as many genres/styles as possible, waiting to see how it will end up and how listeners will take this. Yes, I'm aware that this probably sounds like capital punishment, doom judgment of some kind. But nah, I like it, it has power/energy, it's unique mixture and it's pleasant to listen.

Hehe, there are even classical-like songs.

And most importantly, it's for free, so what else you want to hear ? Go for it.

3(+), hehe. Charming, really charming and sometimes breatktaking.
