Explorer Club - Raising The Mammoth (2002)

Explorers Club is a progressive metal/rock supergroup headed by the Gardner brothers of Magellan featuring, among others, James LaBrie, John Petrucci of Dream Theater, and Derek Sherinian (ex Dream Theater), Billy Sheehan, James Murphy and Steve Howe. Their first album, Age of Impact was released in 1998, and Raising the Mammoth was released in 2002, to a slightly less favourable critical reception, notably due to the album's somewhat odd musical structure.
