The sophomore effort from prog metalists Magnitude 9 is quite an improvement over the debut Chaos to Control. Most of the potential that Chaos to Control alluded to has been fulfilled with Reality In Focus. Of course, its hard to go wrong when the team is built around all-star guitarist Rob Johnson. While there is the occasional tendency to riff off into oblivion, the listener can tolerate the occasional overplaying due to the enormous talent Johnson showcases throughout the disc. Now, this is not to say that Johnson's bandmates aren's heard from. On the contrary, the keyboard textures provided by Joseph Anastacio Glenn are a great complement to Johnson's guitar work. The rhythm section is anchored in superior fashion by bassist Kevin Chown and drummer John Homan . In Corey Brown the band has both a capable vocalist and a truly stellar lyricist.
