Sophisticated 1995

"One of my favorite progressive metal albums. This is a very challenging album. Nothing about this album is easy to like. Vocals take some time to get used to, song structures are really weird, time signatures are all over the place and melodies hard to locate (the album itself is impossible to locate). BUT, if you can find light at the end of the tunnel, it's one of the most rewarding albums. Unfortunately, if you don't already own the album, you'll have almost no chance of buying it. I have it on mp3, and at least once a week, I check the German and US ebays to see if it shows up. I've never seen it available to buy anywhere. Hopefully, the band's new label will buy the rights to the album and re-release it, but I'm not going to hold my breath... Anyway, I suggest that you get your hands on it by any means available. It's fresh, original, solid, optimistic metal!"
