This band I knew about but didn’t actually hear until I played Rock Band. The song on Rock Band was Called Welcome Home and is a great track and a lot of fun to play on rock band actually.
This Album from 2012 came up on random and I decided to give it the quick review treatment.
So this relatively popular band that deserves their popularity as their albums are very good. They are a great intersection of literature and Rock. This album is really the first half of a double album that the label made them split into two separate releases.
This album is under 40 minutes long and
The deluxe version of the album came out with companion book written by band member Claudio Sanchez.
This album is for any fan of C & C and if you have never heard the band before I think that all fans of Rush should give this band a shot. In some ways the band does remind me of a modern day Rush.
