Exivious debut album it seems to me that has carried along the best in Allan Holdsworth (IOU), Tribal Tech (idem) and the obvious Cynic spirit. As one flows along the album musical ideas, it appears that it never gets old and can find a way to be surprised by the next track, it indeed takes us to what we might call "unexplored paths" in the mainly cliché metal scene. It feels like a finished idea, nothing let loose or random in its way. It seems to me that this album might be like a drop of oil on a papper sheet. It permeates it all.
