3 stars hmmmmmmmmm,where to start ........ well lets start with the good points first. This album is more diverse than the frikken universe, and boy does this stand out, from the very beggining note, to the final explosion of sound, you'll be trapped in a confused stupor. It's also very well made, and ample effort has evidently been poured into it, and at times its also the best music you will ever hear. but at other times it is a complete and utter shambles, with extremely jarring sounds that seem to have been placed there purely to disrupt the flow of the album. This may be the first piece of prog music i've purchased, but i still know when sounds clash etc. and at these tiimes the album feels very unsatisfying, like if someone cooked you an amazing meal, then garnished it with sawdust. And the bridges between song are too often repetetive beats placed to take up time. to enjoy this album to the max, then pick'n mix the tracks to your taste........
