OUT OF MYSELF

The first attempt from a prog metal band usually ends up a little sticky. In this case however I found myself loving it the first time through. I heard Second Life Syndrome first, so I suspected that this would be a precursor to it, and probably not quite up to par. I was wrong. I enjoy this album every bit as much as SLS. It has the same raw emotion, more instrumentals than the latter, and just as many beautiful moments. I think the beauty is what really makes this band stand out from others like Tool and co. This is music worth listening to.
