It's a keyboard album that sounds like the world's greatest guitarists having a drag race.

Relentless, technical confidence with a triumphant and slightly aggressive edge.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive opening title track where the keyboard lead mimics a distorted guitar with uncanny aggression.
The rhythmic complexity of 'Octopus Pedigree' where the drums and synth lock into a dizzying, jagged groove.
The shift into a bluesier, soulful pocket during 'Them Changes' providing a brief, groovy respite from the shredding.
