Title: Vanden Plas - The God Thing: A Dream Theater Clone?
Review: After hearing the God Thing for the first time, I'm reminded strongly of Dream Theater. The keyboards, drums and guitar have strong similarities to Dream Theater (think Images & Words or Awake).But after subsequent listens, other similarities stand out on this excellent cd. I find that the guitar actually reminds me of Dokken and Conception just as much as it does Dream Theater. The vocals remind me of Conception, too. Though Vanden Plas's vocalist has a higher range than does Roy S. Khan of Conception, they both have similar voices. The music is strong and powerful and Vanden Plas concentrates on writing great songs rather than self-indulgent technical silliness. This is where Vanden Plas has the potential to be superior to Dream Theater, they (Vanden Plas) know what music is about.Progressive metal is about musical innovation, not technical masturbation.If you like Dream Theater and Conception, I think you may like Vanden Plas.
