Russell Allen, whose vocal timbre is always quite varied, being melodic at times, angry at others, hoarse in some moments, warm in others, even a bit virtuosic at times; perhaps his best performance?

Certain tracks impress, especially for their keyboard work and melodic moments. However, some ideas could have been developed better. Fans may find it decent but somewhat conventional. Explore Symphony X's Underworld for a heavy onslaught of progressive metal with powerful vocals and keyboard highlights!
