Okay, EXTREMELY late to the party, but I finally just got this yesterday (it's complicated). I've started three times, but haven't gotten through the whole album yet. What I will say so far:
Blue Ocean is REALLY cool. Liked it from the getgo.
Kayla and The Storm are nice, catchy pop rock.
Casey is a good singer, but I'm still undecided about whether I like his vocals.
There seems to be more "rock" on the album than I had been led to believe. I thought it was going to be less guitar driven.
Drumming is interesting. Mike is walking that line between "overplaying" and "taking drums to another level." Sometimes I feel he crosses the line just a bit, but being close to the line is a good place to be. He really drives the songs, even if he does overplay in some spots for this type of music.
