Vanishing Point The Fourth Season Review by Gary Hill
I’m not sure why, but I set this disc aside for a while. I remember thinking that it was fairly generic epic metal. Well, it comes close, but honestly, I’d consider it a lot more in the vein of Dream Theater’s brand of progressive rock. Sure, there’s a good chunk of metal here – but this really isn’t generic. Perhaps I got that impression because these guys make it sound so easy because they have the music mastered so well. It’s a safe bet that this will be too metallic for the progressive rock purists out there – but for the rest of us it comes recommended.
