Sherinian's first solo album. He was fired from Dream Theater while working on this one and I'd say he really wanted to show the world how great player he is. And he is. I like his sound, his soloing, his composing. Alice Cooper's quote says "He is arrogance personified" and you can feel it - very self-confident and ... well ... brilliant!
Album starts with Atlantis trilogy (later live on Planet X's Live from Oz) and continues with another 7 masterpieces. Well, you've got Derek on keyboards, Brett Garsed on guitar, Tony Franklin on bass and Virgil Donati on drums. How does it sound? As great as the music itself.
