No offence please - I liked the musicians' level and masterity, but this is NOT Prog CD and it's misplaced here.

Don't know for other albums of that band but I ain't sure I'll ever want to. Here we have usual stright-forward pop-rock, very average and even not catchy (a major flaw!). They don't play complex timing (except for one 9/8 in q onr song - they just play 4/4 and make a pause) or big epics (the longest song here is 7 min long and features some tempo changing...that's it). I've always been a fan of poppish Neo a-la Menel's IQ or early PENDRAGON, but this is too much! One can't tell FOR ABSENT FRIENDS from BON JOVI-like band!

Don't be fooled by the name. Not recommended even for die-hard Neo-proggers. To be honest, not recommended even for Non-prog lovers.
