“On first listening this album just blasts itself into you. It’s a tapestry of rhythms and colors that shimmers out of your stereo, and the vocals, my God…the only way I can explain it is like someone grabbing me by the shirt front – not because he’s angry, but because what he’s saying is so important to him that he doesn’t want me to miss a single word. By the end of the third song you know this one’s staying in the CD changer for months.

When you listen closely to this album a few more times you’ll hear some things you’ve heard before, it’s just been so long that you forgot where you heard them. There are whispers of Bowie, Genesis, Floyd, The Doors, and Jethro Tull, yet the overall sound is so cutting-edge and ready for modern radio that it’s more like a playful nudge, an elbow in your ribs… A lot of bands right now could take a lesson from these guys. I love this album!“
