REVIEW
Zpěvák Jerry Fischer nenapodobuje svého předchůdce Davida Clayton-Thomase, jeho vokály jsou odlišné zabarvené, stylově a podáním si každý opravdu dělá "svou vlastní píseň". Zbytek kapely i nadále vystupuje s ochrannou známkou virtuozity a stále nabízí klasický BS&T jazzrock fusion. Mezi výrazné skladby patří "Roller Coaster", "Save Our Ship", "My Old Lady" a skvělá funková instrumentálka "Inner Crisis".
