Its amusing, in almost all the reviews ive seen, the shattered fortress has had such differing likes. Some seem to absoultely love it and see it as one of their best songs, and others dont like the fact that it just recyles bits of the rest of the AA suite. I for one love it, but feel once you get to about 8 minutes in the amount of repition of other songs gets a little bit annoying, but for the first 8 or so minutes its AMAZING .

2. Coming from a big Artillery fan, I was quite pleased with the new album. The guy aint no flemming however the album is solid and seems to incorparate By inheritance with a more moddern reflection of metal. Only took you guys almost 20 years to do it right but good job nevertheless!

There's a reason why it's called 'This Month In Metal' and not 'This Month In What HavokStrife Doesn't Disapprove Of'.

From a purely stylistic point of view, this is “The End of Heartache”/”As Daylight Dies” with some new curtains. In other words – very little has changed and KsE remain true to the sound they made it big with. Does this sadden me? Yes, it does, because I'm afraid I was right in my assumption that they couldn't keep the ball rolling with the same sound.

I mean, you say it is the same, with just new curtains and all, and then say they didn't keep it rolling with the new sound? Am I misinterpreting this? Or did you just mean they didn't keep the same sound, which you called their best, and, uh make it better? How do you improve upon something that is your so-called best anyways? I mean, you go back and forth talking about them keeping their same sound, and them trying to get out of their comfort zone(which was clearly not achieved). I mean, make up your mind, do you want them to keep the same sound and make their best somehow better(something that is technically impossible), or step out of the comfort zone? Maybe I'm just a bit too drunk, but it doesn't make sense to me...

The KSE was a disappointment and don't worry Pete, it made perfect sense and wasn't contradictory. They could only go so far with the sound they were producing and this album suffered for it. I find they made it a little more bland, even though it's somewhat heavier. Let's say that if you painted all their albums with the same brush, the new self-title would be a paint-by-numbers.

I will definitely be checking out the new Artillery, as their old stuff is great. Defiance sounds interesting too. Is there any development on Wintersuns' "Time?"

And by the way, is it just me or do all prog metal singers sound the same? Dream Theater... Symphony X... Outworld when he's not hitting those screeching highs... All their voices sound so similar to me!

Good job! These are my favourite reviews by UG. I agree with you on the new KSE album. They should have tried a new sound. Btw, try to review the new august burns red album next month if you know the band even its metalcore :p.

I don't mind metalcore, not at all. Might feature it, no promises.

I'll try to clarify. Their new album to me is stylistically the same as the two that came before it. Stylistically being that the elements present are the exact same. It's Blueprint KsE(tm) without the small details and nuances that made the albums preceding it so much better. I guess the new curtains were ugly.

As for if I wanted them to keep the same sound and make "their best somehow better"...sure, if they'd done that I'd been cool with it. I think they could've made their best better. TEOH being the best of the albums sharing this style is far from a perfect 10 in my book. I'd also been cool with they stepping out of their comfort zone and tried something new, in fact I ALWAYS want band to try this, regardless of style. It's better to try and fail than to remain in one place and sound stale.

Well, maybe you should broaden your horizons a bit.

And...I place the obscure stuff at the top because otherwise 80% reading this would just check the DT review and skip to the bottom. Everything has a purpose.

Also the keyboards in Wither are amazing. I just wish Dream Theater would do a few really short songs, in the vein of Wait for Sleep and The Silent Man, just to give them more opportunity to experiment.

Either way, I enjoyd BC&SL as much as Awake.

what's up with everyone's obsession with 666? don't they realize what that is?

And by the way, I haven't heard of any other band they reviewed! KsE was the only band I'm familair with. They need to keep the reviews on one main genre. Just metal and the thing that are close to it like hardcore,thrash,etc. Not all the other stuff.

I'm pretty sure it meant nonstop for a year, not just once everyday. Probably the thing I cared most about than those crappy bands. That's just crazy. He probably has hearing aids now.

Absolutely NO mention of August Burns Red's new CD amidst all this stuff I've never heard of? Come on now. From the three songs I've heard on their myspace, that album's gonna be sick.
Also, I've sorta been out of the loop with Dream Theater. But this new album sounds like it's worth checking out.
And by the way, is it just me or do all prog metal singers sound the same? Dream Theater... Symphony X... Outworld when he's not hitting those screeching highs... All their voices sound so similar to me!



u dont know proggresive rock at all my friend. u are very wrong

That's because those bands belong to a pretty narrow band of prog metal. Not all prog metal bands include operatic-style vocals. Cynic, Tool, Opeth, Mastodon, Meshuggah... all represent a different vocal style, and all are most definitely progressive metal.

I've been very skeptical of DT's new album, because I just don't see them keeping my attention much longer as they don't vary much between albums. Though you seem to be saying that they've struck a good balance with this one, so perhaps I will be pleasantly surprised.
