I listened to the first album yesterday. No regrets and I will listen to it again. There definitely were some standouts on first listen for me, like "The Time Machine". I couldn't help but think that this may be a bit of a grower, needed a few more listens.
I'm just wrapping up the second album...
As a prog/ heavy-prog fan, I think there's a lot of REALLY good modern day music.
