Review title: Attention melodic prog metal fans!
Product review: This album took me a little while to get into, partly because it was more different from their demo than I was anticipating, and partly because their song writing is so complex. Once it began to sink in though, I really found myself loving it. The lyrics on this album are top-notch, as is the technical use of guitar and prominent keys. Their singer I've grown to enjoy. He's less operatic and dynamic than I usually like, with a kind of Dave Matthews-ish alternative or monotone sound, but I think he suits the band well and is able to give them something distinctive in this regard. The melodies and arrangements throughout the album are also excellent, yet I think at times their full effect is lost amongst production that is, I feel, less than impressive. All in all, this is one of the better prog releases I've come across in recent years (and it's still continuing to grow on me!).
