Цитата
The Dream Theater touch is from the "Images & Words" period and that's a good thing too, since it's my favorite album. The musicianship is pretty good, but sometimes the band can be at the limit of copycat on some guitar melodies then and there... like the song "On Fire", the Malmsteen copycat for the guitar & keyboards and the Stratovarius chorus melody... yellow card only this time!
The production is way above the usual Italian one and is quite good. The artcover is pretty special , but it's nicely done.
The albums contains very good songs and only a few boring moments, but that's the problem with me and prog, some slow moments can last a bit too long and start bothering me, it doesn't mean it will bother though. A very good surprise in the genre. This one is for you, fans of Prog Metal, especially Synphony X & Dream Theater fans.
