“Neurogenesis” starts us off on this unforgettable musical journey that is brimming with melody and rhythm and such compositional dexterity and limitless creativity from an artist who has always remained slightly ahead of the curve as well as naturally adapting to his surroundings with such stylistic flexibility.
Delivered with such creative finesse, this track delivers an ongoing thrill of rock, due to an ambitious blend of raw riffs and vibrant percussive elements that boast such great sonic clarity and warmth. This track is also cinematic and highly energetic enough to get anyone dancing with reckless abandon.
“Happy Little Echoes” is like listening to the waves of water with nothing but a clear head and a bright vision. That combination of the guitar, piano, drums, and other percussive instruments is so smooth and melodic that you just don’t wish for its end.

“Drive to Mobile” is another marvelous standout that features a rock flavored melody that fits in beautifully with the track’s arrangement. While the track obviously has so many strong elements, I was in awe of those intensively hit riffs which are my favorite bits.
“Agent of Change” has an inescapable classic thrill flanked by such depth and crystal clear polish added by that wind instrument that has been added with such gracious and spacious intimacy to round out an all-round impressive sound.
“Made it Home” features the stylistic caliber of Country music with an undeniably addicting and memorable line that is guaranteed to take up residence in the mind of the listener for the rest of the day.
