There are also a few standout lyrics on this project. "Through My Veins" includes these lines: "You've been taken from my eyes/But you're running through my veins." Not bad for prog rock old guys, eh?
This disc falls short when these players put down their pop chops momentarily and try to rock out. "Finger on the Trigger", for instance, is just too crisp and clean in a world where bands like KORN and Linkin Park have mastered raw rock & roll truth. Asia is far better at perfectionism than letting loose.
The song "I Believe" states how "love is the key to happiness." And how can anyone argue with that? Omega is a sharp piece of pop-rock, which pretty darn good for a quartet of rock veterans. And best of all, they don't come off cynical or jaded in the least.
