"Wow, sounds like the person who wrote the nasty review celebrates diversity about as much as Hitler and the Nazis. This album is simply wonderful!! It moves in and out of flavors and influences brilliantly. I also hear influences of Rush and Grateful Dead but I also hear influences of Fleetwood Mac and Jethro Tull. This album expresses diversity musically by weaving in so many different styles it's hard to pin any one down, which ironically gives it its own identity. Lyrically Acumen seems to talk about typical topics like love and relationships, but a couple got my attention seeming a bit politically twisted. Over all I think this is one of the most promising albums to come out this year. It kinda gives me hope amongst the clutter of Britney Spears, NSync and Limp Biscuit. Can't wait to see this band live. I highly recommend buying this CD if you like great music, and don't have the single minded ears of Hitler."
