OCTAVARIUM

A massive step back, due to there being only three good songs here, and due to the horrible presence of The answer lies within and I walk beside you, which are a step back to the Burning my soul evil present on Falling into infinity. However, a few songs rescue this album; these being The root of all evil, Sacrificed sons, and the last twelve minutes of Octavarium (I don't really listen to the first twelve any more). Also, this is the first prog album I bought, and so I have a little nostalgia for it: but that still doesn't stop me from giving it two stars...
