Description/Reviews: 

The album itself is quite diverse, which is apt considering that the album's concept is based on the MK-Ultra project carried out by the CIA for 20 years between 1953 and 1973, which investigated ways to manipulate people's mental states and alter brain functions by applying various procedures and drugs in order to aid interrogation and torture.

Description/Reviews: 

Much like their first record, it’s a polished mix of melodic hard rock and AOR ballads. There’s some of the feel of The Reasoning’s very early work before they moved in a more prog-metal direction, and there are a few moments that recall 70s Styx before they descended into cheese. But Sankara have their own sound, built around strong riffs and anthemic choruses.
