Title: Excellent metal album
Review: Quite simply, this album is a collection of individual acheivements in musicianship. While the lyrics could use some work at times, every member of the band demonstrates his virtuosity with his instrument. Soaring, powerful vocals; tight and imaginative bass lines; powerful guitar, both rhythm and solo; and drum work reminiscent of Neal Peart all combine to make this a thoroughly enjoyable spin. The individual performances hardly take away from the overall direction of the songs; the band is good enough to meld these efforts into a seamless, satisfying whole. In contrast to the incredible raw sound of Keeper Pt. 1, this album has a much more produced and mature sound that is just as satisfying, if in a slightly different manner. Buy it.
