This is definitely different. Image Dream Theater fronted by a black woman who sings with a distinctly soulful sound. I love seeing genre-defying bands like this doing something different.

Sounds like any other generic radio metal band. She's got a great voice and this is sure to be popular but not really anything new to the genre.

Radio metal? Since when? I haven't heard metal on the radio in 20 years or more.

It's a pretty good record and all the songs kind of flow together. Certainly didn't strike me as commercial.

I listened to a couple. I'll be picking up the album soon.

Bought it a few days ago. Probably listened to it 3 times so far. I'm really digging it, but not hearing the Dream Theater style Traxon mentions.

Well I've been known to be wrong in the past. But glad you like it.
