Numerous small and many minor matters went quite wrong on this debut album - at least as I see it. Which is kinda sad, the ideas in themselves aren't too bad - what is lacking is in execution.

Basically, what they are trying to do is make an album with music sounding very much like Yes; in a slightly modernized version. The synth layers, guitars and synths mix, high lead vocals, vocal harmonies, slight jazzy leanings at times, and very, very melodic.

But the instruments fight each other for space rather than filling out the soundscapes, the vocals come across as a tad off, especially compared to the melody, the chosen tones for the tunes are too low, and the vocal harmonies doesn't quite match up.

Some nice moments, but the sum of weaknesses is much greater than the sum of the strengths for this one.
