over four years in making, the longplay number three in outstanding progressive metal/rock visionaries' history is out, and it is a new apex in the evolution of ever evolving transcendental outfit; eight tracks are rich, vibrant, and evocative - the mark of a band that are masters of their craft, a natural continuation as well as a collection of new ideas, incorporating elements distilled from the musical experiments conducted on the two previous EP releases; the alchemy of frontman Paul Masvidal and rhythmaniacs Sean Reinert and Sean Malone assure yet another crescendo in the band's illustrious, ground-breaking career; third press of gatefold sleeve double black 45rpm vinyl with pro-printed inner sleeves is limited to 500 units
