Get it inta ya, it's a tastey hunk of prog goodness

dont really care for the lyrics, or the singer, but there are some okay instrumentals. none of the songs really grabbed me tho.

ill try again some other time tho.

I have to sort of agree with you there, the singer can be a bit hit and miss

I didn't listen to too much, but I actually feel like the vocals are a reasonably good compliment to the instrumentals. With that first song I was craving a tasty bassline, but that phrase that came up about halfway through kind of met that desire. Based of what I listened too, i think it's really pretty decent.

The one thing that I don't like is presenting it as heavily influenced by "band name here". I feel that way about any young bands really. Let the music speak for itself. If it's written for the sake of art, then it should become it's own thing.

Sorry, that's just like... art philosophy on my part I suppose. But I can totally understand trying to bring the music to ears that you think will respond to it. I like the site too. IMO, keep it like that for as long as possible. Just put the music out there. Let it reach people and sink in. No need to put band bios and pics up. Crap like that. Just waters everything down.
