03 A TRILOGY PART 1

03: A Trilogy Part 1 is NOT progressive metal, like the rest of the band's albums are. In fact, this is technically just a Charlie Dominici solo album. It is completely acoustic with guitar and harmonica as well as Dominici's voice. Personally, I think it's a great album, it really gives you that feeling, while telling you the story of 03, which spans 3 albums.

Prog metal fans wouldn't like this, unless they can tolerate things that aren't prog metal. Because this is completely acoustic, and not metal at all. It's a fairly decent album, though. In terms of progressiveness, it doesn't really have that much progressive stuff in it, being a very simple album. But the lyrics and story of the album are that of a rock opera, or concept album.

It's good but not essential. If you like acoustic rock, or are a Dominici completionist, then get this album, it's fairly good.
