The intricate instrumentation and powerful vocals dramatically bring to life a fantastical world.
The technical playing, which makes full use of irregular time signatures, coexists with the catchy sensibilities of American rock. The meticulous arrangements give the songs a three-dimensional depth, making this a fulfilling work that offers new discoveries with every listen.
