It shows our metal side, our progressive side, and the tons of dynamics. Portnoy believes Next To None have become a sharper and more challenging band with 'Phases'. I suppose you could say that we've done here is do more of everything we did before, but the greater experience we now have has helped us become better at what we want to do. This time around, there are no guests featured, as was the case on 'A Light In The Dark', and as it's just the four of us you are getting more of what we want to express to everyone, musically and lyrically.

And the band's second album "Phases" will seal. There's been a strong feeling a while now that Next To None are stretching progressive metal into fresh areas. And the band's second album "Phases" will seal their reputation as individuals who are making a mark on the scene in their own right. 3 2. Answer Me 3. The Apple 4. Beg 5. Alone 6. Kek 7. Clarity 8.
