EVERGREY "torn" cd 2008

career stats:
studio albums.....9
singles..............13

this album..................#4 Sweden...#148 France

Swedish Prog Rock band....
seventh album....
sound more in line with the hard rock prog of Dream Theater to me than straight up Prog...
not a bad album, too much of a muchness for the most part though...
lacking the class and orchestrations of Dream Theater IMO...
two love tracks on here though, theyre more rock ballad than the heavier material on here...
wouldn't bother getting another one of their albums and only got this one because it was $3 in a discount bin...
well worth the $3, but that's about it...

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

I've listened to a couple of Evergrey's albums, "The Inner Circle" and "Hymns For The Broken." It took a while for me to get into the band, but l like these two albums fairly well now. Evergrey does have progressive elements in their music, personally I wouldn't compare them to Dream Theater who are crazy hard to match when it comes to technicality, though. I haven't gotten to this album yet.
