A Solid Progressive Metal Album

"Having been a fan of the When Dream and Day Unite era of Dream Theater, when I learned vocalist Charlie Dominici was making another progressive metal album, I had to hear it.



Pros: The album does not disappoint; There are some great tracks on here, great musicianship, and an interesting story behind it all.

Cons: The band's influences can be quite apparent at times. A lot of the tracks sound like a carbon copy of Dream Theater's style. Dominici's lyrics are often a hit or miss.



A good album but not without its flaws. I am greatly interested in to see future albums that this band puts out to see if they grow with more experience."

Superb progressive metal album

"Murat Batmaz has already written an excellent review of the music in detail. As a Dream Theater fan since the Images & Words album, I was expecting a cheap knockoff of DT but was very pleasantly suprised that the songwriting was as good as the first 3 DT albums, maybe even a little bit better. The sound is very much in an early Dream Theater or Symphony X mode. In my opinion, this is the best Dream Theater album in 14 years, mainly because the songs are so well crafted as opposed to the long instrumental excursions the band has favored the past several albums. If you love early Dream Theater (when they were at their most melodic), you will love this album."
