Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
How we recognise the sense of achievement that can come from placing your entire being into a piece of art without asking if it is overblown, to be perceived as too long an epic driven by ego, by the crowd taking your mind’s lifetime words as more than truth, more than a deception of statements of significance.

Talent and class never wavers, it might not have been Heaven sent, but it is a gift to which we must acknowledge comes from deep within the human soul, and talent is the result of pushing yourself to make it look easy to others, despite it always being the biggest struggle we face; but by being constant we can all achieve a level of success that we can be likened to those of the cherub persuasion who sprinkle their magic for the benefit of all who care to listen.

The concept album is a treasure trove of thought that requires an intelligence and imagination that can arguably come from being completely engaged with the subject, from being open to treating music as you would an epic piece of theatre of a three-hour film, with absolute conviction and a faithful application and observance to concentration.

From The Outset: A declaration of intent to hit the ground running, to display the virtue of good work that you intend to carry forward in to the world; and one that is more than a project, it is a calling of faith in your ability to be a version of yourself that cannot be denied, that sings, that plays harder than anything you have done before.

It can feel at times as if we are at a point in history that the walls of our existence are not only crumbling, but on the verge of falling, of crashing to the ground and causing long lasting tremors that will have effects on the long-term mental health future of all who walk in our wake.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
Place and voice are entities we never seem to find in our lifetimes, unless we are fortunate, unless we strive to unearth them, to dig around the edges of our existence and truly appreciate that all the while it was within reach; not so much as buried, as just waiting to be uncovered by our soul.

If a legend cannot start again and once more search deeply for the passion that propelled them to the top of their profession in a different era, in a different life, then we are doing a disservice to Time. For a legendary figure to aspire to a new beginning is one of enormity, it is satisfying, and it is humbling; and arguably they don’t come much humbler than the former Doors’ founding member Robby Kreiger.

Alternative history is a cornerstone of debate, the perpetual what if? of our time that allows us to consider a certain event or time in history and suggest a way in which it could have proceeded to a very different outcome for humankind. It is often quite a fun way in which to challenge your own knowledge of key moments and the rippling effect of Time as it creates and carves out a new future for humanity.
