Description/Reviews: 

...yes, this is the band that is heavily being pushed as Mike Mangini’s new project (not enough credit going to Richard Chycki, despite his significant role), and yes, there are a lot of superficial elements of classic sounding Dream Theater here. This comparison is only skin deep though, and the music on display here takes much from a wide array of ‘classic’ acts to build its familiar soundscapes. From the acoustics and structural deviations of Rush and Yes, to the playful melodies of Joe Satriani and Paul Gilbert, everything flows through well trodden ground in a way that will either come off as uninspired and derivative, or comfortable and fun.
