Paleopneumatic incorporates a slew of genre influences into a package rooted firmly in melodic progressive metal. The best part of the album is the production where synth meets traditional metal instrumentation in a beautifully crafted soundscape. Dissona also cover the bases with plenty of variation in the stylings of the vocals, guitars, synth, drums and even some piano thrown in. Another Sky opens up the album with a big ban and unfortunately Paleopneumatic never reaches up that high again. The memorable moments seem to thin out as the album goes on despite most of the 61 minutes being at least good quality. Trimming this one down would do wonders but the best songs to start with are Another Sky, Fire-Bellied and The Last Resistance.
