Title: Pointless showboating is NOT prog
Review: When I picked up this cd, I was expecting a prog band on the level of early Genesis or Marillion. Instead I heard a prog (if I may use the term loosely) version of Spinal Tap. It as if all the criticism heaped on Progressive rock had manifested itself in this awful album. Pretentious lyrics, overwrought singing, technically adept yet emotionally sterile music, glossy production combined with a quasi-mystical album cover make for a farce. The worst of Emerson, Lake and Palmer meets the worst of Rush. Don't waste your time.
