pretty sweet album but I definitely don't dig it to the extent you do
Sky Moves Sideways and Signify are definitely a cut above for me

Signify is a whole other level man. Sky is pretty great too but sometimes it's a little too much like Floyd at parts but still awesome. Dislocated Day is badass.

In the title track you could literally confuse the two bands if you didn't know what you were listening to at parts imo haha but both great bands anyway. If you're gonna be influenced by a band, at least Wilson picked a fantastic one of that album.

Yeah this isn't your best review, but it's not terrible.

And no, I still haven't checked these guys out.

@Mongi that's not a bad thing though, he uses his influences well to reflect on his music unlike some other bands (cough Dream Theater cough).

HA oh Dream Theater. Agreed hard though. My point is the album doesn't really have it's own sound like their other ones but still great.



And yea Toondude I know this was an off day for me. This one was hard to write for some reason.

We all have our slumps every now and then, hopefully it's not going to last.

not sure what you mean by that mongi, I think it's just as distinct and interesting as all their older stuff was

I just mean it's extremely Floyd like in the title track, which takes up most of the album tbh. Never said it wasn't interesting. I love it a lot, but that's just gonna be one of my criticisms. Dislocated Day is one of my fav PT tracks.

I'm probably just biased from my Floyd obsession but the t/t is one of my fave PT tracks, in fact the only one on there I don't dig as much is the Moon Touches Your Shoulder.

You're prob the biggest Floyd fan I've met so far haha. That's prob how you view me about PT though. Can't get enough of this band.

Ha thanks Ecal. That's tough question Rowan. It could be PT for me but some other bands are VERY close.
