About a plate

I actually want to write any review about this CD, because others have already said everything. But maybe find one or the other nor the way to this magnum opus. No, really: This is the most mature performance (after the first Transatlantic piece "All of the above"), who delivered these 4 exceptional musicians. Yes, it often sounds like Neal Morse (why not?), It often sounds like Roine Stolt and the Flower Kings (why not), the drums sound (though beneficial not quite so heavy-heavy as Dream Theater) by Mike Portnoy; BASS ... a real treat! Finally a disc in which the bass from the excellent Pete Trewavas - for good reason - is widely mixed in the foreground (Dream Theater I'm poor John Myung really sorry).
Thematically this work is drawn from A to Z - clearly do not find everywhere blueprints ... but why? This conciseness and rigor I know of no work in recent years. Everything just all of a piece. The main topics to earwigs, also the obligatory pathetic end is not schmaltzy. Then this absolutely congenial finish in the Part "Is it really happening". The more I hear of this thing, the more impressed I am. Truly music for eternity.
