This album definitely is a mystery, I must admit. Pair William Shatner's spoken word with the melodies of Billy Sherwood (formerly of Yes' '90s lineup) and this is what you get. What is "this" exactly? Well, it's a very confusing hodge podge of karaoke tracks layered with shredding guitars and unnaturally clean harmonies. And the centerpiece of it all is Shatner's monologue, which features him spouting off about "the (adjective) of (noun)" and whatever the opposite of the thing he just said is. That's about it, but at least it's entertaining on that "B Movie" sort of level.

If you want to look into this with a little more detail, check out this article on the album:
