I'll just come right out and say that this is very standard run-of-the-mill prog metal. There's nothing here that makes
this band stand out from all of the other prog metal bands out there. There's very little in the way of strong melody or
complexity. There's maybe a few longer instrumental
passages or other moments that are good but really nothing mind-blowing and they aren't enough to make this album better than average. There's
also the problem with the singer sounding a bit like Geoff Tate from Queensryche although he's not a clone or a
copycat necessarily. My guess would be that a lot of prog metal singers have taken his overall vocal approach to
singing.I'm not an expert on prog metal in general but I think it's safe to say there are far better (not to mention far more original) bands out there playing this style. This is actually not a bad prog metal album, but it's not a particularly good one either. So unless you are really into the sound of early Queensryche, or maybe even Dream Theater, or need to have practically every prog metal album in your collection, then this may not be for you. For hardcore prog metal fans only.
