"I bought this CD a LONG time ago and liked it a lot, but found I couldn't listen to it all the way through because of a scratch on it. Then, for some reason, my new CD player didn't catch the scratch so I've been able to listen to the whole thing.
This CD is akin to Images and Words. They are progressive, but don't go overboard in technicality. The music flows seamlessly. Heavy and soft...pianos and synths...but all played to perfection. I think the vocals are okay, and could definitely be better, but they aren't the meat of this by any means.
In a metal world of a million progressive bands...I would put this CD along with Dream Theater's I/W cd. Other top bands would be Zerohour and...hmm...I guess that's it for now! lol I don't even really care for DT anymore...their stuff takes too much patience to listen to.
So definitely pick this one up. Cheesy cover, but great music.
