Review by Time_Signature published
"JT Bruce's debut album "Anomalous Material" was good; his second album "The Dreamer's Paradox", I think, is better.
The style is still progressive, yet accessible, progressive metal in the vein of mid-to-late 90s Fates Warning; and JT Bruce's material still consists of instrumentals. The difference between the two albums is that, "The Dreamer's Paradox" is slightly more complex and a also more adventurous. There are a couple of more unusual time signature sections and also some more off beat 4/4 parts, which works very well. I think that the compositions are also more dynamic and even more interesting on this album - and a reason could, of course, be that they are longer.
I think that most tracks on this album should appeal to fans of the likes of Fates Warning and, perhaps, Queensrÿche - maybe with the exception of the closer "Hypnic Jerk" which is basically an avant-garde chaotic soundscape mash-up sort of thing.
Recommended to fans of Fates Warning, progressive metal and instrumental metal/rock.
