Description/Album Notes:
With the Vanquish project finished, William wanted to stretch his creative wings. Always a fan of simplistic pop as much as he was progressive, the material here fit the pop bill. There are progressive flourishes here but they are kept minimal, whereas each song relies on a catchy hook, melody line or feel. Not all songs are up to the level because of the forced mindset of concise songs while still leaving much to be said. Overall, the debut solo album was a success!
