<p>Okay, so I've checked out his website. It seems that this is the only album he's done so far. Which is a cryin' shame because this is good stuff. </p>

<p>It is Floyd"ish" in places. A lot of places, from the geetar to the female backing vocals. The subject is a fantastic one. That war still holds interest and fascination for me.

There isn't a lot of single material here, but that's not surprising for a concept album. I'd say Reap The Whirlwind is the closest thing to a single. But top to bottom, this is a very nice listening experience. It's so long that I'd prefer it to have been broken down into two discs, but that's just me.</p>

<p>The guitar work is just phenomenal in places, like the track Overlord. But where is the follow up? I'd love to hear it. This CD is only $6.40 on Amazon. It now resides in the Wish List of one RJ.

<p>So, let me get this straight... this British guy is in the music biz, has done enough to earn "Outrageous Laser Light show" status before he even made an album, and all the time he's surrounding himself with people in the music business, band members, sound engineers, stage designers, tour managers etc... then writes an album that sounds like a knock off of Pink Floyd/Roger Waters presumably with people who know the music biz, producers, mixers, studio musicians etc etc... AND NO ONE EVER…</p>

AND NO ONE EVER MENTIONED PINK FLOYD?</p>
<p></p>
<p>um, ok... And now for something more realistic...</p>
<p><a href="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/53/9e/dd/539eddbe6b3911c50404e70deca8afd2.jpg" target="_blank"><img width="250" class="align-center" src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/53/9e/dd/539eddbe6b3911c50404e70deca8afd2.jpg?width=250"/></a></p>
<p>Onto the album...</p>
<p>- Your right, but more Waters solo like than Floyd, right down to the background singers (who've probably never heard of Floyd or Waters either)</p>
<p>- This isn't terrible, but much like a Waters solo album it lulls and then has moments, Soldier on Tom is exactly that, one big lull with too few cool moments </p>
<p>- I still don't buy the whole never hear of Floyd thing, its simply impossible to listen to this and not hear it (Not Just a Phoney War is pure plagiarism)</p>
<p>- Face the War Alone is really good! Nice geetar!</p>
<p>- I know you like The Final Cut, but its tough to sit all the way through for me and this is feeling much like that</p>
<p>- Alone in the Dark is interesting in a good way</p>
<p>- Hows this "plagiarism of Waters/Floyd and claiming ignorance" thing working out for him nowadays?</p>
<p>- Drum machines toward the latter half, he should go back to ripping off Floyd at least he's more interesting when he does</p>
<p>- Well, I'll give this this... Its a good listen, but I already own a bunch of Floyd and RADIO KAOS which is all the solo Waters I can handle. Even in the lulls, of which there are many, I didn't lose total interest or fall asleep as I would have listening to Tull.</p>
