I never consider this album is prog, or even other albums of this band. What is prog, anyway? The only prog is the players: ex YES, ELP, KING CRIMSON. Before I listened to it, I thought that I would experience a spectacular prog music from the prog masters. But I was shocked when I was listening to the first track which was purely "pop" rock music. So, it's a mainstream rock I would say. Nevermind, I enjoy mainstream rock also. So, I listen to this CD for a change only if I got bored with other kind of prog. Some tracks are great such as "Time Again", "Wildest Dream" and "Without You". They remind me on my college years. Some tracks a sucks ... like "Heat of The Moment", "Sole Survivor", "Here Comes The Feeling". OVERALL, this album is for a change only. If you are really a prog lover, don't buy this CD. You would definitely regret. But if you enjoy GTR, Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple, you may like this album. Gatot Widayanto, Indonesia.
