Criminally underrated progressive rock record. Kevin Moore's dry vocal delivery, the delicate synthwork, and Gavin Harrison's remarkable drum performance combine for an atmospheric near-masterpiece. There's great variety on Blood, from catchy metal ("The Escape Artist"), to synth-driven mood pieces ("Terminal,") to mind-bending effect twisters ("Microburst Alert").

OSI often go into their flights of fancy with electronica and off-time riffing, but they don't forget to be catchy for a single moment. Blood is a very "cool" album, in a traditional way: a breeze to listen through and impossible not to sing along with, after the first time. Drum work is predictably top-notch, and the vocals make me wish Kevin Moore had stayed with Dream Theater, so we wouldn't have had to withstand Portnoy's background bleating.

Good stuff. Gavin *shines*, the mellow tracks are especially good. Kevin's vocals are also really good.
