I think its better than Big Generator. And yes, it is a Rabin vehicle all the way. But there is some good shtuff on that album. The songs 'I Am Waiting' and 'Endless Dream' are as good as any of the 'new' songs from Keys To Ascension. There are a few clunkers on it though; 'State Of Play' was just too plastic and robotic...too Rabin.
