These guys are a decent Prog Metal band, the amazing thing us that they have released severn albums, but only 2 of them have had a vocalist: Petter Carlsen, which was in between 2016 and 2018, those albums were "Trips" and "Boundless" which were both on InsideOut, same as this album. They have collaborated with guest vocalists including Peter Dolving from THE HAUNTED ("Built Without Hands" from Satellite Bay), John Bush from ARMORED SAINT (ex-ANTHRAX) ("Middleville" from Long Distance Calling) and Jonas Renkse from KATATONIA ("The Nearing Grave" from Avoid The Light).

"Curiosity (Part 1)" starts off with an intro sample, this is a fairly common Prog stance to take. This is basically a spoken word intro with a simple, but catchy harmony, ticking over, but not really building up much "Curiosity (Part 2)" takes over, continuing from the spoken word idea, just adding some new wave style electronica at the start. The guitars come into play shortly. The melodies harmonize beautifully together. The song itself is building up from the tempo perspective, until it drops down to allow a bridge of harmony, its not long before it picks up again. It never really let's go into a full frenzy, it remains controlled and within the balance laid out.

"Hazard" has a medium-paced start, nothing too fast, but it keeps slowly increasing the tempo. The sounds are experimental, just allowing us to appreciate what we hear, without changing in too many different directions. Its very space rock style. Around the halfway mark it slows down, adding more spoke word. Its like something you'd see on a Sci-Fi Powerpoint presentation. It does kick u the gears after the spoken word, nothing much, but a noticeable change, even if its just the volume. The harmonies aren't bad, they just don't really go far enough in progression.

"Voices" sounds very similar in the space rock ideal. The harmony is set to be obviously a strange, but interesting sound. The wailing from the female vocals is very different, it adds a depth to the song, but not much changes with adding it. The melody picks up as the vocals start to fade out, nothing of any great pace, but this would be good for background music. Its not that nothing happens, but what does happen is very repetitive, which yes is a Prog Metal trait, but it needed some life and change. "Fail/Opportunity" starts off as almost white noise, its super relaxing and could be used in any massage center. Its only a short song, if anything it's a filler song. It doesn't do much, but is beautiful at what it does.

"Immunity" is going through the motions, even if they aren't changing a lot. The melodies are great, beautifully written and harmonized. The gears remain in the mid-range, they don't seem to want to progress or experiment into much higher. The song itself works so well within its own balance that vocals are not needed, just maybe a few twists and turns are. "Sharing Thoughts", this song starts with an eerie piano playing to build up the tension. The full instrumental kicks in quickly into this 7+ minute song. The song doesn't feel like it will kick into life, the others haven't. the harmonies tick over nicely, but just that, there is no real excitement or experimentalisms. The song is in similar stance to so many others on this album that the tricks are beginning to wear thin, the main thing this has going for it, is the pace and tempo are far higher than most of the album, which is a good change.

"Beyond Your Limits" keeps with the higher set tempo from "Sharing Thoughts", which is good for the album as a whole. This one actually has vocals, continues the band´s tradition of having one track with a vocalist, and features the talents of Eric A. Pulverich of the band KYLES TOLONE. The depth from just adding vocals is astonishing. The song actually improves the overall feel for the album, it has a new style on this song that enhances not just the vocals, but the instruments as well. Great song to spice up the album "True/Negative" goes back to the new wave mixed with spoken word. This too feels like a filler, or an intro-esq song to the final of the album...

"Ashes" continues the spoken word, Sci-Fi...thing. Grim. This song just feels like a roundup of what the overall sound to the album was. Which is a bit disappointing, nothing new or experimental, nor exciting to finish off on. This album has nothing really wrong with it, the material has so much potential to it, it doesn't have enough experimental turns in the album, it could have changed a lot more, but it could have done so for better or for worse.
