The 22nd album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
One guest added saxophones too.
The band returned again with this one hour long album after a two years long album break.
This fifty minutes long album was released the week after the passing of Tony Clarkin, the founder, songwriter and guitarist in the band. To say that he left a big void in the band is a big understatement.
To this date, this is their latest release too and I am not sure what their plans are. This may be their final studio album.
The music is again a blend of pomp rock, AOR and hard rock. This blend has become their trademark from their debut album five decades ago.
There are even some Rush influences on the first couple of tracks here.
The band does a good job and the vocals is as per always great. This album is a nice way of remembering Tony Clarkin and one of their best ever albums. What a way to go....
