This album is quite a mix of sounds seeming to call to mind the new wave/electronic movement of the '80s in almost equal measure with progressive rock leanings and the sounds of such people as David Bowie. Reflecting that progressive rock element, the arrangements here are quite full and creative and the album is very powerful. It is not your typical run-of-the-mill progressive rock. Expect to hear sounds as diverse as the aforementioned Bowie, Gary Numan, Hawkwind, Nine Inch Nails, Rob Zombie, and Pink Floyd. The group even writes their own music for lyrics written by Cole Porter on one piece. The most frustrating part about reviewing this album is that all of the material is so strong and entertaining that it is virtually impossible to pick one or two cuts over the rest. ~ Gary Hill, Rovi
