The problem with modern progressive rock albums is that songwriters tend to forget about hooks and melodies while they try to squeeze far too much musicianship in one track. This is not the case here, exactly the opposite; the songs are extremely melodic with big hooks, yet none of them is any bubblegum pop-rock. The opening duo of "Message" and "Loving U" may be the most poppy tracks of the entire album with their refrains filled with hooks but fans of a more progressive approach also get their share with tracks like "Sometimes" or "Crystals". The almost one hour long running time gives a lot to discover, vivid arrangements including numerous string pads, saxophones, flute, acoustic instruments won't let you get bored in case you are sensitive for such things. I certainly am therefore I enjoyed the album from beginning to end.
