 Romeo tries to recover that balance between aggressiveness and melody that has been lost.

 Basically, it’s a band album, an album with the right balance between musicians and sounds, a group album presented as solo.

Michael Romeo's War of the Worlds Pt. 2 follows closely the style of its predecessor and Symphony X's prog-power metal roots. The album balances aggressive riffs with melodic orchestral passages but does not showcase a major leap in guitar virtuosity. The orchestral and metal elements coexist but often feel separated. Overall, it’s a solid album for fans of the genre, although it largely stays within familiar territory. Listeners hoping for a more distinct solo statement might be left wanting. Discover Michael Romeo's latest prog-power metal journey—listen to War of the Worlds Pt. 2 and experience the blend of orchestral and aggressive metal sounds!

 23am is an uneven album that disappointed not only early fans but also the 'electrophiles' audience Robert aimed at.
