is a one-of-a-kind progressive album with rock, heavy metal, and jazz influences with a "space rock" lyrical bend. Formed by former members of (, vocals), (, lead guitar, and , bass), and (, drums) is an album that flows from riff to riff, drumbeat to drumbeat, often with various time signatures within the same song. Taking a tip from , songs flow directly into each other without benefit of any lag time between selections. Taken as a whole, the album is kind of a rush, as quick, riff-laden guitar lines predominate for a few songs before slowing down temporarily into a lull until the next takeoff. Lyrically, the album differentiates itself by exploring themes of the outer world and meanings of existence, often with references to the moon, sea, sun, and so on. Listeners may get the feeling of taking a journey to space in a rocket ship headed for destination unknown. Musically, the album is superior in all aspects. has a strong rock voice, plays an enormous amount of hook-laden guitar lines, and plays complex basslines (for example, at the end of "As the Moon Speaks-Return") that lead to typically rhythmic, nimble drumming. The tightness between musicians is enormous, never lets up for long, and leaves the listener feeling like the ride should continue for the indefinite future.
