  Beyond the Gate
 
  Review by Gary Hill
 
  
 This is an intriguing set that feels like it could be some kind of concept album. It's a progressive rock set with a lot of emotional and intensity variety. The music is often amazing. If there's one complaint for me, it's the vocals. It's not that there are bad. In fact, they are far from it. It's just that there is a certain common element to the singing throughout that just seems to overstay its welcome for me. For that reason, I think this would probably work better a couple pieces at a time than as a whole album. Still, your mileage may vary.
