4 stars This album was defently one of the best debut albums in reason time. When I first heard Loose Heart I was blown away! It had the spacyness i have always enjoyed and a good "groove" through out the song. I bought the CD off of amazon.com and was even more amazed when i listened to the whole thing strait through. It is labeled "progressive metal" but the interesting thing is they strayed away from the heavier side and mixed it up more with the spacy-softness. The production is a 10/10 for a debut album - all the tones of all the insturments and vocals were right were they need to be. The lyrics and very "down to earth" and can easily be related to by most people! Duda keeps a wonderful job of laying down the groove in this album with very tight bass lines that the whole song can build on. Now when it comes to guitar some people are disapointed by the lack of shreding but... given the feel the smooth riffs of gruzsinski fit the band perfectly. Ok now to the songs...

This same river - 9.8/10 Out of my self - 8.5/10 I believe - 8/10 Reality Dream I - 9.5/10 Loose Heart - 9.9/10 Reality Dream II - 9/10 In Two Minds - 7.5/10 The Curtain Falls - 9.6/10 Ok - 8/10

So overall average about a 8.7 making this an Excellent addition!!!

A nice spacy and sometimes heavy album of a talented band with great promise!!
