WHEN DREAM AND DAY UNITE

Good debut for the band! But great, eh, not to listen to. It has it's moments, it's good! Vocals suck, good thing they replaced with James LaBrie! Fwew! Yes great instrumentals though, Ytse Jam has always been the song of this album. The Killing Hand and A Fortune in Lies are the other songs I really enjoyed. The Rest are good or okay. Only a Matter of Time is actually one I really never came for. I don't know if it's the symbols recording that bugs me because the sound is really obnoxious for some reason. (Listen to the song live when James is singing it, it makes it sound a little better and not as falseseto or anything like the such!) so yes, is it good, yes, is it essential, no. Give it a listen and see what you think of. 3/5 to DT's debut!
