This is the best album to sample their eclectic harmonies. Deja Vu and Home are songs that everyone who listens enjoys, but for good reason. The album is almost poppy at times, but then comes back with their glorified solos and amazing instrumentation, leaving the listener yearning for more. The CD is longer than most, but the songs start with harmonics, then go through the lyrics with a long and gripping solo, and crescendo into a trailing vibe that meshes better than anything out there. This album is a must have for the progresive rock fan or anyone, really!

I love this album. My favorite songs are "Overture 1928/Strange Deja Vu," "Through My Words/Fatal Tragedy," "Beyond This Life" and "Home." I think the album's only flaw is the order of the tracks (even though it's a concept album). The first half is filled with the harder songs with a few soft ones while the second half is mostly less heavy. I don't think the album as a whole flows very well, but each "scene" is great as a stand-alone song. Highly recommended.
