The Life Inside 2004

"Sorry, but although the musicians were obviously trying very hard to make this a fantastic album, they ultimately fail. The whole thing sounds very much like Dream Theater, but this kind of music only works with awesome production, flawless musicianship and inspired songwriting. Well, they have great potential and are quite talented, but here they're trying too hard, making most of the tracks as complex as possible and just a tiny bit beyond their capabilities. Playing is not very tight (especially bass/drums), and the singer has a very strong accent which (in concert with occasionally extremely poor English) ruins much of what's left of the atmosphere."
