####Potential Discussion Questions:

• Our first Frost* album! In the world of neo-prog, these dudes are pretty big. What influences (aside from the obvious Dream Theater) do you hear from these guys?

• How would you personally rate the album?

• Are there any moments on the album you consider particularly strong or particularly weak (i.e., favourite/least favourite moments)?
