Progressive Metal

Sure I'm not the greatest prog metal fan, but I trully think this is terribly overrated. There is a mix of various musical styles, most of them don't work for me.

The vocals are good, as you can expect from the various famous singers that sing a note or two on this disc. The lyrics however, are just horrible. It's all sang in some kind of a conversation style, and that really is just plain horrible. The lyrics are very simple and predictable, something I disslike in music, especially if there is singing most of the time (I mean if it were like Camel with a few vocal parts then I could look the other way, but here it's too much).

There is just too much emphasis on the vocals (and thus the bad lyrics) and too little on keyboards / guitars.

Aside from the awesome ending of the second track "Isolation" (with crazy DSOTMish synths) there is nothing really interesting for me.

Sorry only 2 stars for my fellow countrymate and the other artists featured on this disc.
