I know he calls this metal fusion, but it's silly. This is good old fashioned progressive rock, and it needs to make no apologies for itself. The ending vamp is one of my favorite "send a chill up your spine" moments in music, and I find myself wandering back to this song and album far more frequently than most of the other music I used to listen to in college. Sherinian getting kicked out of Dream Theater (shameful) was made a bit more delightful due to this record and Sherinian's later output both in his solo career and with his band Planet X. Long live prog rock! Sweet album cover, too.
