You’ll still hear plenty of crunch and drive from Matheos and Portnoy, but Moore’s often melancholy vocal styling is somehow a bit more hardened and world-weary. The recording also experiments with new sounds and an even more unique use of the sonic space. Their complex blend of comfort riffs, complex arrangements and experimentation will be ambrosia to the Dream Theater / Fates Warning fan base and will also appeal to fans of bands from Porcupine Tree and Pink Floyd to Radiohead and Wire.
