IVORY TOWER

Ivory Tower debut from 1998 self titled is a good prog metal release that probably will pleases every DT fan. Never going much further from DT clones on this album, Ivory Tower still managing to have some good towards great pieces here like One Life In Asia with some great guitar parts, A distant light or the ending tune Blinded. Nice arrangements, keyboards, guitars all is here. If their next album, for me at least, Beyond the stars is a real gem in prog metal field, this self titled debut is more then decent with good pieces still far from excellent. I like the art work here as on their next album, goes hand in hand with the music offered. 3 solid stars for me maybe 3.5 in places.
