Dense, dynamic and cerebral progressive metal, swinging between rage and meditation across long, evolving tracks. Demanding and rewarding. A modern metal landmark. Mid-catalogue, but far from a placeholder.
On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
