First I misread; I thought you wrote Styx, but then I re-read your post ..

Actually I think they're very inspired ... at least by Dream Theater and SyX. 

Currently listening to The 1st Chapter (the epic) ... I agree that they stole the overture concept from The Odyssey.

Boring , uninspired.

They really should try to sound at least a bit original.

Maybe I will arrive at the same conclusion ... it was just a first impression. We'll see ...

Had it for a while- they impressed at first, but they never left a lasting impression. I haven't felt the need to give it a spin for some time, so I guess it wouldn't be in my favourites list.

I just bought Circus Maximus - The 1st Chapter. I think it's a really good album. I've read the reviews ... I think the album is severely underrated. It's obvious that they listened to Dream Theater and Symphony X a lot ... but in this case I don't really mind. They're really trying to be creative, and IMO they blend those influences quite nicely.

Any thoughts? BTW: I've added their homepage to my link database ... you can download two full songs there.
