As memorable and enticing as Era was, Crossing the Barrier comes across as a bit flat. Faulting from djenting cranks to repetitive melodic riffs, Crossing the Barrier simply spins its own cogs a few too many times before moving on to bigger things. It's certainly not without its brilliant ideas and remains a cut above the monotones of Keith Merrow, but it remains a bit of a letdown after its predecessor's promise.

Locke has some great riffs and ideas, however, the album as a whole is a bit tedious to get through. I suspect within the context of a full band Locke could be quite successful, but the majority of this record doesn't have enough punch to keep it interesting. Locke reminds me a lot of Keith Merrow; both are solid Metal musicians and deserve respect for their material, but neither are great enough to be truly memorable as a one-man project.
