CAUGHT IN THIS ILESS STORM

Copying a band isn't a ggod thing at all and it isn't progressive for sure...ART OF SIMPLICITY love PAIN OF SALVATION and it is obvious...Couple of tracks of the album-which are not accidentally the best ones, without being something special- could easily be in a PAIN OF SALVATION single or EP,they don't only sound similar with the swedish band,they sound exactly the same...not so original...In the other tracks the band tries to sound more progressive and original,but they lack in terms of composition and vocal arrangements,the second one being the most important problem for the greek bands along with the accent and the production...But there are some highlights too like the last track (excellent instrumental) and the good use of the violin...Recommended for die hard PAIN OF SALVATION fans and someone who wants to broaden his prog metal collection...not my cup of tea...
