I was skeptical of this album when i first heard it. There were aspects that I liked, but I wasn’t into the rock opera approach…UNTIL I saw them perform this album live. It very entertaining and you were get to grasp the talent and story line in a unique and different way. This is less of a CD and more of artistic performance that you need to experience for yourself.
