This record has received some much needed attention, but it's still nowhere near the admiration this band is due. These guys got chops. But, isn't that a 'given' in the realm of Prog-Metal? Everyone in the genre got chops. Musicianship is the name of the game here. You need a sharply honed craft just to earn yourself a place at the table. But, once your seated, it's all about one's compositional skills. It's 'F' or walk, buddy. And, this Texas band walks.....hard. They walk hard. lol. For all of that great musicianship in Prog-Metal, most of the discs are boring as schitt. Repetitive, uninspired, unoriginal drivel, the vast majority of 'em. But, Thought Chamber's music keeps you pinned to those speakers for a nice long bout of compelling musical passages and instantly recognizable melody lines. Along with a few other new Prog outfits like Redemption and Magic Pie, Thought Chamber is the band to be watching.
