I think I hate the new singer...reminds me of SYMPHONY X's almost, BAD BAD BAD THING. I don't get what people are DOING when they hire singers like that. Power Metal and your average Prog band's vocal style is just absolutely grating, in my opinion. I can deal with say James Labrie, and I like Daniel Gildenlow and whats his name from Vanden Plas, but I'd rather listen to say AT THE GATES'S singer before most Prog/Power metal singers. Yuck! The mp3 is full of glitches too. Bad stuff! I like the first cd a heck of a lot, but this one isn't sounding like it's going to be too great. It just doesn't sound very interesting or original, it sounds very much like other prog metal bands. Boo, hiss!
