Tolerance
When Time Stops
Review by Gary Hill
In a lot of ways this fits into a heavy metal or mainstream hard rock sound. The thing is, there are also plenty of progressive rock elements here. Most often this lands somewhere near Dream Theater. Still, I know some prog purists don’t consider that band progressive rock. The truth is, I do. I’d have to say that to my ears these guys sometimes play it too safe, plotting courses that take them into the AOR end of things. That said, though, they show plenty of talent and this is an album I’d definitely recommend to fans of Dream Theater and that school of metallic prog.
