Great song and great lyrics.. Usually ppl say that they don't understand the meaning of the lyrics, but actually it is so obvious... its' a smart song, about releasing yourself from triviality and things that stops us to be ourselves. Triviality can make us crazy, mean, and lost.... especially triviality of modern 21. century... "
@metabog Technically, it was originally Jim's solo project which Kevin was invited to work on. When they started working on it, they clicked so well it became a full on collaboration with Kevin providing vocals which he was not originally supposed to do. It belongs to both of them, and you'll notice in the liners that Matheos and Moore are given equal and exclusive songwriting credit. Everyone else on the albums are guest musicians.
oh come on. this is kevin moore and jim matheos project. portnoy is just a guest drummer like gavin harrison is in the last osi album...beautiful music indeed
It's not really Mike's side project as much as its Kevin and Jim's. Kevin mostly manipulated Mike's drumming himself most of the time anyway, or used electronic drums. Mike allegedly wasnt satisfied with the outcome of their works.
Next album will feature Gavin Harrison of Porcupine Tree on drums.
I love Harrison as much as Portnoy I think he will do a great job with them, it seems to me that the kind of music they play is closer to Harrison's stuff than Mike's, which is heavier usually.
Yes you're right, it's not Dream Theater side band... it is a "Dream Theatre's side band" ja ja ja look at the description... ja ja ja ja.... just having some fun... sorry for Moore, Mike it's much better than Harrison... bye
STOP TALKING ABOUT THE PROJECTS AND LISTEN TO THE MUSIC ,,|,,

I guess now you can't say this band has any ties to DT, not since Portnoy left

@proggah So is Jim and Kevin's project, since Jim invite him to play together.

@proggah It's Mike's project, but he is pushed away by Kevin Moore, at least Mike said that in one interview.
