Totaling
over
70
minutes,
the
eleven
tracks
that
make
up
“The
Way”
showcase
the
band's
dynamic
blend
of
dark,
melodic
vocals
with
extended
instrumental
interplay
as
layers
of
soaring
guitar
and
keyboard
passages
lock
into
a
solid
foundation
of
shifting
and
complex
rhythms.
The
album
ranges
in
dynamics
from
the
soft
theatrical
to
the
distortion
heavy
guitar
rhythms
of
modern
rock.
It
is
a
listening
exercise
in
contrasts
between
symphonic
imagery,
playful
interludes,
and
visceral
mood
swings.
The
drama
in
it
all
tends
to
feed
the
melodic
and
rhythmic
nature
of
the
compositions.
A
further
achievement
of
this
debut
album
is
it’s
success
in
showcasing
Henry’s
versatile
talents,
not
only
as
a
creative
and
progressive
vocalist,
but
as
the
accomplished
lyricist
he
is.
