DWELLING IN THE OUT

The second album from American progressive metal band Digital Ruin is interesting, and certainly warrants playing a few times, but I found that it didn't quite capture me as I thought it would. There are some interesting parts of songs, with the guitars and vocals coming together just right, but there are plenty of times when somehow it doesn't quite gel. With Savatage and Queensryche being obvious influences one would imagine that this would be a stormer of an album but it isn't.

Probably not an album to be dismissed as quickly as I have, but I just found it difficult to maintain the interest. Maybe another time.
