(5 out of 5 stars)

"ACCOMPLICE is a very good band with a very cool album. These up-and-comers from So. Cal have introduced themselves to the world with a debut album of all original music that features something for anyone who is a fan of AOR and melodic, progressive rock. The songs have an epic feel without the epic length. Musicianship is apparent, as is the pro production. The vocalist is intense with a range I've not heard since the days of Dickenson, Halford and vintage Tate. The guitar work is very clean and inovative. The keyboards provide wonderful balance. (love the dual solos with the guitar) The rhythm section and backing vocals are extremely solid. Although they don't sound like anyone in particular, the overall feel of their music is reminiscent of many bands that I love; Queensryche, Journey, Iron Maiden, Kansas and even a little Dream Theater. Whether it's hard driving rock, or flowing ballads, ACCOMPLICE has it covered and is a must add for my music collection. My personal favorite tracks are "State of the Nation" and "Fallin", but the rest of the album is great as well. I'm looking forward to their future albums and seeing them live."
