Description/Reviews
The Optimist sees the band tweaking the sound found on Distant Satellites while also reaching further back into progressive rock, pulling forth vocal lines, ideas, and themes from their own discography and those of many other great bands. Naturally, Steven Wilson‘s sound almost has to be referenced here; his mark on the band is well known and documented. However, you might be surprised to hear other bands being name dropped, like The Beatles or Yes.
