UNWEAVING THE RAINBOW

Dear lovers of progressive metal in the vein of bands such as "Dream Theater", you could be very interested in such symphonic metal genre. In fact the present album, featuring James LaBrie at his best versatility, regarding of a symphonic style like a film scoring, other usual breaks through (even though already listened within a typical progressive rock) and a bunch of ambient-funky tunes, is worth checking out at least. Moreover you can find here some strange music passages, in comparison to a typical progressive metal band and this fact is quite original nowadays!! Besides there's a good songwriting inside this concept album concerning Genetics and other scientific subjects like the evolution of mankind (e.g. the lesson of Darwin)... but I don't get crazy for this combination of epic themes and "scientific lessons" as well!! Nevertheless at the end you can appreciate also the most delicate vocal passages by La Brie, in the vein of Neil Morse by "Spock's Beard", and therefore such light moments are not boring!!

Anyway I don't want to affect your opinion... so make your own choice!!
