The Enid present, through all 9 tracks, a brilliant amalgamation of symphonic, theatrical, rock, progressive, melodic, atmospheric & classical music. Rather histrionic & intense at moments… yet truly vivid, impressive, pompous, moody & harmonic overall…

Though this is undeniably the work of the same man behind The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, he's turned his artiness inward, making his music coiled, dense, vibrant. There is still some excess, naturally, yet it's the sound of a musician unleashed, finally able to bend the rules as he wishes.
