Title: Erik Goes Metal
Review: I had high expectations for this one, based on Norlander's superb previous solo effort, Threshold. Unfortunately, Erik is into this metal thing lately. This change from a classic, lush symphonic sound to a heavy prog-metal sound doesn't really suit him, in my opinion. He's still a brilliant keyboardist, but all of the loud, crunching guitars and heavy metal vocals (from various guest vocalists)overpower much of his keyboard work on this album. There are some nice moments (mainly the non-vocal tracks), but not enough to raise this to the level of Threshold or his work with Rocket Scientists. In fairness, this album will probably appeal greatly to heavy metal fans. As for traditional symphonic prog lovers...you've been warned: this is not what you'd probably expect from such a talented prog keyboardist as Erik Norlander.
