The CD opens with King Crimson guitars in the track “Synthetic” but after 30 seconds all hell breaks loose with fast and hard guitars and a singer who is screaming. I don’t like this shit (Grunt vocals). It is a mix of heavy metal with the complexity of King Crimson and some art rock/prog keyboard sounds. The second track “Chameleon” opens with keyboard-piano combined with the King Crimson like guitars and the song develops into an up tempo song with vocals sung in the James Labrie style of Dream Theater. I like this song better than the first one but I prefer to play one of my Dream Theater albums. Both songs are also in an “edit” version on this CD-single.
The boys can play their instruments. It is all very up tempo, complicated and neurotic. But two songs is not a good basis to give a good impression and write a review. Instead of 10 pages biography and two songs, next time send me 2 pages and 10 songs!
