| 4.0 excellent | Dimor | January 14th 12 |
Really superb Prog-Metal album. One of my all-time favourites. The technical aspect of the album is great in a sense that it doesnt try to rub your face in it, instead it relies on comfortable time-changes and great interwhining guitar melodies that truly flow together seemlessly. This is what a good Prog-Metal album should sound like.

Pretty generic prog record. Pretty much more of the same, nothing too original.

A Social Grace is the independently released debut of progressive metal band Psychotic Waltz. Heavy metal riffs in rapid changing time signatures present intrigue, novelty and unexpected maturity for a relatively inexperienced and unknown band at the time. Buddy Lackey/Devon Graves behind the microphone is an interesting vocal hybrid of Chris Cornell and Mike Patton. The opener ... And the Devil Cried is a perfect introductory microcosm of the band's signature metal sound that sets it immediately apart from either metal or alternative rock bands of the time. Also noteworthy mentioning is the only ballad on the album, I Remember which provides temporary reprieve from the assault to the auditory senses. The additional instrumentation incorporating tambourine, piano, vibraslap, flute and keyboards augment to this debut's uniqueness. Highly recommended to those fatigued from the current "sameness" presented in this genre.
