INSIDE OUT

Agree with most of reviewers who call it "Parallels 2". The sound is the very similar, there are strong progressive moments and on the flip side, the weaknesses of the previous album such as certain awkward radio-friendly (fortunately) short compositions. After many years, we don't have any song overlapping 7 minutes. Ironically, I'm not able to pick one song that stands above the pack; it's rather proficient drumming and versatile electric guitar playing that draws your attention from the first track onward. Having said all the above, there isn't a significant drop of quality either, having this album about half a star lower than Parallels.
