This album features a more melodic death metal approach while still keeping the progressive elements from the previous albums. Aside from LaBrie's usual clean vocals, the album also features harsh vocals by drummer Peter Wildoer and backing vocals by keyboardist Matt Guillory, who also sang lead on the album's demos.
