Best of 97

"What an eye opener! I've been a huge Dream Theater fan since 92, but this album (released the same year as DT's weaker release "Falling Into Infinity") caught me as my interest in them was beginning to wane. Germans Vanden Plas are SUPERBLY tight on this melodic/power/progressive rock masterpiece. "Garden of Stones" and "You Fly" showcase tremendously thick guitar tones. Listen to the amazing build up in the former and the the tremendous guitar harmonies in the latter. Oh my! I was in heaven. A similar intensity builds in "Crown Of Thorns" while the guitar line of "Salt In My Wounds" is just pulverizing. Kudos also to the magnificent bass player; check out the opening track of the disc. Wow! Very interesting, probing lyrics and nice artwork. But again, the proof in this pudding is in the *hearing*. Easily one of the best power/prog-metal releases EVER. An essential recording."

"I have all there CD's, and "The God Thing" Has to be Vanden Plas best CD to date. With "Beyond Daylight" a close second. You get everything with this CD. Thick guitar sound, great riffs, piano, great vocals, lots of changes, and great bass lines... I wouldn't change anything about this CD. If you like Dream Theater.. You will love Vanden Plas. I think "The God Thing" is the best choice for first time listeners. The more you listen to this CD.. The more you like it. "The God Thing" will be a great addition to your music collection. Believe me.. This CD will not leave your CD player."

"These guys are just fantastic. They keep exploring new depths. THis is an older album that they have, but it is still fresh, and never dull. Everytime I want to get into a new state of mind, I put these guys on. This album just digs in and never lets up. There is no bombast, playing for technical sake, great vocals, clear crisp themes, and excellent playing.In You I Believe is exemplary of the whole collection, fast, pumping, crisp, with great teamwork amongst all the players. No personal showmanshipLong live Vanden Plan"
