5 stars What maturity!

What hasn't been said about this band, evenmore this record? Yep, everything's been said. You can digest multitudes of reviews, over-analysing their style and describing songs or musical textures. It takes a certain amount of imagination and comprehension to transcribe art into comprehensible linguo.

In the end, the best is just to listen to it. So do it!

I have to admit: this album shows how 'complete' and mature they are. Violin use ŕ la Curved Air? Check. ELP loudness? Check. Gentle Giant complexity and keyboard palette? Check. Genesis flute and delicate touch? Check. They dabble in almost everything and still hitting high marks in every song: atmospheric, joyous, grandeur, complexity, technical pyrothecnics, you name it. Rarely I heard a blend so many genres flowing effortlessly BUT still feeling original, this has to be a feat in itself.

This short album is one heck of a curiculum vitae making « The Award Winning Marconi Bakery » one monumental band not only in RPI but in Rock History.
