"The Battle" is just another power/progressive metal

C'mon, if the two singers use(d) to sing in prog/power band(s), that doesn't make this release prog/power by default. I see nothing proggy or "powerish" here, it's more of a modern hard rock thing IMO, not metal.
And the album is awesome, I in fact dig it more than Russell's solo output, though I wish he was more present on "The Battle".
