FULL CIRCLE

Full Circle is the Dreg's final album after a long hiatus. This still has the core sound of the band, but is very uninspired compared to their earlier output. This is probably their most guitar-dominated album, which is good, but a lot of the eclecticism that graced Free Fall and What If are absent, leaving this album kind of stale. 'Aftershock' and 'Good Intentions' are the standout tracks for me, with their pulverizing guitar riffs that remind me of John Petrucci (who is heavily inspired by Morse). I suppose this is still a decent listen, but I would be far from recommending it.
