These guys have been out for a while, but I've never heard of them. Most stations around here play the same old middle-of-the-road "safe" stuff ... safe in that it sounds like everything else out there that's already a hit. These guys don't sound like ANYONE else I've ever heard. And that's not a bad thing at all in this case.
Some people are calling this "Nu-metal", but it doesn't resemble metal at all to me. It's more like very heavy rock with a slight techno feel, very odd vocal progressions (which work quite well, actually), and a very progressive edge. If you were ever into "thinking-man's music" (Styx, Kansas, Yes, etc.), then this is worth a shot, but don't expect the same old sound of the 70's! These guys are all about the bleeding edge of the sound of music - cutting their own way through the industry with a very original sound.
Of the 3 albums so far, my favorite is "Reset and Rewind". The first one is great, but the second one is even better. The third, "Blue" is just a "Best of" with a few additions, and the additions sound a little more techno than the other songs. My personal choice is the first two over the latest for this reason. But none of it is bad! This group has presently become a favorite of mine, but judge for yourself.
