Review by Mellotron Storm
PROG REVIEWER
3 stars The biggest issue I have with this album is the sound quality, it's not that good at all. The band produced it themselves which was definitely a mistake considering this is their debut.Too bad because I really like their music, but lookiing around the Internet I noticed a few others also have my opinion about the production. On the other hand there are a lot of high marks out there for this one.The talent is here in spades that's for sure.

"Day By Day" has a good intro as it kicks in quickly with vocals close behind. An instrumental interlude 2 1/2 minutes in features some great guitar. Vocals are back a minute later. "Like Him" has some growly bass on it I just wish the sound was better.Tasteful guitar 2 1/2 minutes in then a brief calm. Chunky bass a minute later as the guitar grinds away. "The Damned" eventually overruns us with a stampede of drums.Vocals have some passion to them. Just a really good rhythm to this one. A synths solo 3 minutes in. "Temple In The Storm" opens with some great sounding riffs as the singer yells out. Excellent bass lines as usual as spoken words come in followed by some cool guitar. Vocals after a minute. Good song.

"Blinding My Eyes" opens with multi vocals then a heavy drum section takes over as guitar solos over top. Huge bass in this one. The guitar starts to rip it up after 2 minutes. "The Secret" is fairly heavy. Reserved vocals before a minute but they do get passionate. Not a fan of this one but I love the bass and the guitar later. "What I've Become" is my favourite. An eagle cries out as spoken words come in while the wind blows. A slowly grinding guitar comes in followed by heaviness 1 1/2 minutes in. Vocals a minute later. A calm after 5 1/2 minutes followed by some outstanding guitar and bass. Great tune. "In The Blink Of An Eye" is ridiculously good for the first minute, a metal storm really and then it calms down.

Parts of this record sound like it was recorded in a garage or something.Thankfully the next album by this band is a huge improvement in many ways.

3 stars This album is just average for me. It's definitely a more power emphasized progressive album than its successors, which I have no problem with because I'm a power metal fan, it's just not quite as good. The vocals are okay, they are less than stellar for me. Unfortunately a lot of the time it se ... (read more)

3 stars Become - 3/5 stars 'A taint of what they're going to 'become' in the next albums' I got to know this swedish band thanks to a fellow prog-metalhead (friend of mine) that recommended them to me in 2009. So after that, I picked up their first record. According to what I was able to research, ... (read more)

2 stars I saw a review for this album a couple of years back on another site, giving it a full 5 out of 5 stars and being effusive in its praise. I immediately sought it out, but this was before I started shying away from most prog-metal; I guess I am getting a little long in the tooth to be doing much ... (read more)
