It sounds like umpteen different bands, many of the 70s classic and prog acts, but some not mentioned by many are some of the early 90s prog-death bands like Death, Atheist and Cynic. When it takes that many bands to describe one, most people end up calling that band 'original'. your review reads a little hard on it, but at the same time has the same rating I probably would have given it…

Quite a difference from their original plan of making the album one single seamless track. Sounds like the record label put some pressure on them to make it more "accessible" after all.

Me likes prog rock/ prog metal and anything prog....lots of good bands out there, but the general public isn't patient enough for such artistry. I've owned Death (rip Chuck), Atheist (Kelly Shaefer working with BJ of AC/DC) and Cynic (Paul Mastieval still around). How about Dream Theater...any references there? Ahhh.

He told me Paul Masvidal is basically a 'for hire' studio musician now, his most famous work being the theme music for 3rd Rock from the Sun. hey Baychuk, I used to be good ‘online pals’ with Kelly Schaefer back in like, 1998 – back when he had just formed Neurotica.
