Disconnect's Enough Blame to Go Around is by the numbers hobbyist prog optimised for the less tasteful and discerning listener. They've clearly been listening to a lot of Porcupine Tree because they use a lot of the "vocals that sound as though they are coming through a telephone" effect that Steven Wilson likes without showing any aesthetic judgement as to where it belongs or when it might be best to shut up, and their instrumental chops are technical enough to be boring but not honed enough to have character. In short, it's utterly pedestrian and dull, and to add insult to injury they've included a shot of someone dying on 9/11 as the cover art as some sort of cheap, lazy attempt to make some sort of statement. The only statement the album makes for me is "you wasted your time here".
