What’s the 4-1-1?
Prog rockers return with a stellar 2nd release.

Genre
Progressive metal

The Good
This is a very good album once you get past the sometimes odd vocals of Leon Ozug. Keyboardist Tim Becker writes some of the most amazing songs
I've heard in prog music with very catchy songs such as "Passion of My Heart" "Lockstep" and the absolutely beautiful ballad "To Be Content." I'd give him "Songwriter of the Year." However, I think he needs a better vocalist to deliver these songs as Leon sometimes goes a tad off key. But then again Leon is also a guitarist and he should stick to that as his first instrument as he is an excellent counterpart to the Tim's great keyboard skills.

The Bad
The vocals, they aren't terrible but they definately need improvement.

The Verdict
A very beautiful album that'll touch your heart and rock you out.

Did You Know?
Tim Becker is also a Youth Minister at his church.
