Negative Positive
Title: High tech prog metal
Review: Watchtower's followup to their groundbreaking "Energetic Disassembly" LP is quite a focused piece of music. Talent wise, I'd say they are the best. Alan Tecchio's vocal style soars a wee bit too much, throwing random vocal melodies in where they shouldn't be. "Mayday In Kiev", "The Fall of Reason" and the high octane title track don't suffer from this flaw, and show a an unmatched technical level, yet keep it "concise" without dragging out songs into the 12 minute range for no reason (ie - Dream Theater) ..... for musicians with ego problems, I suggest this album will bring your feet back dowm to earth.
