Fifth studio album, the follow-up to 2008's ' The Bedlam In Goliath', from the Texan psychedelic prog-fusioneers. Described by vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala as "our version of what we consider an acoustic album", it sees the band cutting back somewhat on the all-out experimentation of earlier releases to focus more on pure songwriting. The result proves that they are just as good at emotional & melodic directness as at frying their listeners' minds.
