This is a very talented band. I liked this from the first song,although they need more variation in their music-most songs sound the same. When they do change the nature of their songs, they are excellent. Their drummer only uses a few different beats(usually the frenzied sixteenth note double bass worn out riff) which really limits the sound of the songs. Listen to Symphony X- V for a much better version for this general music style. The last song is a fantastic epic which is TOTALLY RUINED by the dorky narrator who sounds like a very bad actor with a lisp-I laugh every time I listen to this. The narrative is poor as well. Still-I enjoyed this and will try another.
