CD Reviews

Neo-prog gem
Samuel A. Rhode | Minneapolis, MN USA | 03/03/2000
(3 out of 5 stars)

"This is an excellently executed album, although the Fates and Rush resemblance is a little too obvious in places. The new singer is better than the guy from Steps, but his melodies tend to become monotonous as he tries to work over the insane, assymetric rythm shifts that characterize this CD. As is the case with many bands of this ilk (ie, Watchtower), they need to learn to calm down in places and give the singer some room to work. That's not to say that this isn't a good album--just that the vocals suffer because the band is so hellbent on being extremely complex all the time. The musicianship is top notch, and the singer is really good--he's just in a tight spot. If you're into Fates or Rush, or even to a lesser extent the Police, this album should interest you."
Say Goodbye To Rush, Fates Warning, Queensryche

"SE with new great singer, great atmospheric songs in the FW style, though..... MUCH AND MUCH better, extreme time and mood shifts, all played with extreme craftmanship, great rhythm section. For fans of Watchtower & above mentioned.... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! There's no life without this album"
Not what I expected from the reviews

"I bought this CD based on the numerous 5 star reviews I read here. All I can say is, it didn't strike me the way it struck those other reviewers. I enjoy Rush, Fates Warning and Queensryche - as so many reviewers drew parallels to these bands. Are there similarities - yes, but I'll take the originals over Sieges Even pretty much any day.



There's talent here - no question about the musicianship of the members of this band, but for the song construction - it wanders and is littered with 'noodling' and constant tempo and key changes that after a while, just flat out became irritating. It seemed that just when a song began to coalesce, some needless key change, or irritating noodle would mess the composition up. I got sick of it. It seemed that there were constant changes just for that reason - no intrinsic value at all.



Quite frankly, if you want to buy this CD, I'll be selling mine on Amazon Marketplace pretty soon - cheap -.



This CD was just plain irritating."
