5 stars Since there isn't much variation in sound from song to song, I'm going to talk about this album as a whole: It's incredible!

Now, eclectic prog has always been known for being one of the finest, most consistent subgenres within the progressive rock genre, and even on recent years fantastic records from unknown (and relatively underappreciated) bands have emerged from the darkness thanks to the curiosity of us Prog Listeners and, most importantly, because of their elevated quality.

Summit essentially enters that group. It's an album from a band that isn't necessarily very active that manages to surprise the listener (who, being used to prog pyrotechnics, is harder to leave speechless) with flawless musicianship and creative musical arrangements. Wailing saxophones, distorted guitars, ethereal vocals, erratic drums, and prowling bass are all common in the subgenre, but it's hard to grow tired of them.

This albums features heavy influence from King Crimson, Meshuggah and Jazz acts such as Coltrane. It blends these artists into a delightful, sporadic, spontaneous soup of modern eclectic progressive rock that will surely leave most listeners impressed.

Five stars for I can't find any reasonable flaws in this album.
