''Worm's Eye View'' is an interesting blend of straightforward, riff-driven progressive metal and metalcore. Indeed, at times Anuryzm resemble more to acts such as Trivium rather than Between the Buried and Me or late Symphony X (references to point you to the sound of the album). The interchange between clean and harsh vocals is keeping a balance over pacey, thumping, fast galloping riffs, but its continuous use and resemblance to practices of metalcore bands might tire the prog-metal listener.

It is difficult to pinpoint weak moments but equally difficult is to find truly excellent moments, with the shiny exception of the inspiring ''Breaking the Ballot'' and perhaps the mellower ''Skygazing'', where the band find the perfect balance between layered riffing and catchy, melodic refrains.

A very well-worked, professional album, which might not last the test of time. Invest if prog metalcore is your thing.
