It seems to me the only point of my existence
Turning off the lights around the house in every single room
Grumping around the place, I don’t get out as much now
Don’t play guitar as often these days as I used to do
Where’s all the time I used to give myself for music
It’s eaten up with cleaning all the stuff around the house
Worried I might offend someone with my opinion
Screaming inside but outside I’m as quiet as a mouse
Unblock the plug of hair although I haven’t any
Checking the fridge for beer, remember drinking with the lads
Although I grump I wouldn’t change the life I’m living
It’s therapy to write it as the ballad of the dadz

Wonderful, beautiful, densely layered music. I'm glad I gave this album several headphone listens before commenting. It did not immediately strike a chord with me, but the more I listened the more I began to understand and appreciate how fantastically rich and deep the sound is. For fans of atmospheric and melodic prog, this is an excellent addition. Bass and drum work are exquisite! paliojen_black

For those that remember the Look and Read series in the early eighties (which had such programmes as 'Dark Towers'), in my opinion this music evokes those feelings of mystery and wonder. Very, very impressed. Trebör

Although the 3 guest vocalists on this album sing wonderfully, and the songs are diverse and creative, I still prefer the voice of Peter Falconer. Still, I highly recommend this album, aware that my preference is somewhat of a bias. Some of the guitar playing on here is incredible. Despite the new vocalists, the sound of this album is still distinctly Drifting Sun. Personally, I give it 7.5/10. Alrihkh
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022
Sustained by seismic psych riffs, proggy shifts, and vivid sci-fi storytelling, these Milwaukee cosmonauts command respect. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2023

Love and peace to Ukraine! With the horrible news about the ongoing war in Karfagen's and Antony's home country and his home town of Charkiw, it's hard to find the proper words, praising this beautiful, symphonic prog album...
I wish you and yours all the best - keep safe!!! Carsten Pieper
