Sci-fi comic book king of prog rock Dreamtheater front-man, James LaBrie, returns with a second solo outing that once again proves he reads more than just the abstracts that are printed at the back of a book and goes in-depth into the soul, alchemy, science, mind and, maybe, spirit. The album shows that he thinks far too much and is stuck in the past, back to the time when Iron Maiden's operatics were actually making them money. It is as if someone took Bruce Dickinson, forced him to read science texts for a year, then hosed him down in a prison cell. Somebody please get this LaBrie guy a muzzle and a new testicle!
