Third album from this French Canadian band, conceptually tied around the digital world and video games as a metaphor to the real world.
This is an excellent album that covers a wide range of dynamics from slow to fast and soft to hard. Hooky and melodic, with even some smooth jazz tossed in, this album remains very much good ol’ progressive rock. You will find yourself harkening back to many of the classic prog bands while listening to this album, such as Gentle Giant during Endgame. At 48 minutes, I did find myself wishing it was a tad longer, but only because it’s that good!
Some very fine moments lyrically, such as Endgame’s “But what's the point in playing the game, if you cannot even pull your own strings?” As a believer in freedom and personal responsibility, I appreciate this sentiment.
A very listenable album from start to stop, and one many of you may not be aware of…so, check it out and enjoy! 4.5 Stars
