4 stars I don't believe it was in their mind to reinvent prog metal when they made this album. And they haven't done that either. One the other hand I certainly think that this is a very strong debut album that they are showing the prog metal fans. Indeed it's reminding us of DREAM THEATER and SYMPHONY X from time to time but what's wrong with that? To be compared with two of the best band in the genre must be a great honour. And if you have been listening to DREAM THEATER half the time I have, you should know that they are no copycats. But of course I admit the fact that sounds very similar a lot of the time. Technically it's almost perfect, the production is superb. The potential for the band is certainly in place and I hope they will mature even more on their next album. Overall this is a very good album and a very promising debut. We will wait in excitement for the next album and see if they will get some new influences with their new keyboard player as the old one is quitting!
