I will keep this review short - DREAM THEATER's James LaBrie has NEVER sounded better on disc than on
this project he became involved with during the later part of last year. It's without a doubt a disc intended
to showcase the sheer power, delivery and diversity of his voice and I can only say I wish the last Dream
Theater disc was as good as this amazing project.
Sounding like Dream Theater mixed with QUEEN and 90125-Big Generator YES, the songs are extremely
strong, well written epics, touching on many moods within a single track and often creating amazing
atmosphere and emotion with amazing, completely flawless delivery.
Henning Pauly, mastermind behind this project and key instrumentalist/writter, is a force to be reckoned
with. His songwriting and arrangement talents are superb, and his guitar abilities are terrific. I can't say I
have a particular favorite track, because each song is absolutely captivating and wonderful. If your a fan of
the high-end Progressive Rock scene, or a vocalist looking for inspiration, find this disc and get it....it's
without a doubt, one of the top 10 of the year.
