UNDERWORLD

Ineteresting band, insteresting music. Not bad, but not excellent. A cross between okay and good. They have technicality. But lack in originality in my opinion. They take influence from the usual Dream Theater and Symphony X. Their keyboards were very unique I'd say that's a strong point. They are unique, but not compelete replicas. That's not what bugged me though, it's a great combination if you like the two bands, and it's good metal for you heavy folks. The transitions in the songs were too frequent to make it sound chaotic and in away, sloppy. Not terribly I say, just no enough for me not to bump the album up to a 4 star rating. 3/5 would do the trick. Good but not essential. They've got talent in their instruments, and the vocalist isn't that bad. You like bands like Symphony X, Pagan's Mind, Pain of Salvation, Kamelot, Dream Theater. Give 'em a try.
