Description/Reviews: 

One of the most pertinent aspects of The Fifth Row’s overall sound is its deliberate and effective blending of progressive elements spanning multiple decades of notable influences. The album exudes a respect and reverence for many prolific groups and musicians, acting as a love letter to the more traditional niche of the genre. You can hear shades of Rudess and Jon Lord color the keys, echoes of Lifeson to Banks lilting on the strings, hints of Portnoy and Peart pounding on the percussion, and so on. Most commendable is how Mile Marker Zero not only manage to make this sound fresh and non-derivative, but also in how they expand on these sounds using more modern progressive structures and ideas along the way.
