Dali's Dilemma - Manifesto For Futurism CD

 simply ok
Man...these guys have some work to do. The perks of this album, well, they have a great keyboardist and drummer. Track #5 "Ashen Days" is the peak i think. Downside, first off the mix. It's just kinda there, real flat sounding. I'm sure something coulda been done to make the drums sound more lively and have everything else come out a bit more. The singer...god is he annoying. I'm sorry, i love Dream Theater and bands with great singers, but this guy just doesn't have it. Plus the songwriting is simply alright, but nothing more. They have their "we want to be Dream Theater" points which are also ok, but again nothing above that. They just can't pull it off. Overall an alright cd, but coulda been better.

 Great Stuff
These guys are amazing musicians... I love their sound... Yea i guess some of their stuff is totally a rip off of Dream Theater, but i dont care, because i love Dream Theater also... But the track 'Miracles in Yesteryears' is probably my favorite...

 A truly excellent disc!
These guys are an amazing band! Unfortunately, I think they may have broken up. Anyway, the musicianship on the release is excellent. Patrick Reyes plays some amazing guitar. Keyboardist Matt Guillory has played on many projects for magna carta. He has a unique sound and style. The singer has a very unique sound as well. The music is slightly similar to Dream Theater, yet their sound and approach is uniquely cool in it's own right. Some truly excellent tunes include " Miracle in Yesteryear
