This has been an interesting series, Darryl, and is exactly the sort of thing sites like this one are designed for. But exploration does not necessarily mean any one person will like the actual song. One of my few Prog friends dislikes tuned percussion immenslely. So far, my votes have been mostly 'good' or 'crap.' As to this song, I like it a lot; It is lively and energetic without being over the top, a kind of balance Renaissance also managed. The first section is particularly creative with its tuned percussion, and the second section guitar is tasty and well played. The band sounds good overall. There is an interesting mix of styles and sounds throughout, which keeps it always new and fresh. Certainly not crap to my ears, yet it does not rise to greatness, either. I will thus declare it 'good.' Very good. This is a band I would definitely like to explore more.

Probably between good and great, but not great enough to vote for anything but good.
