Time for another first listen review. This time the choice was on purpose; since we had Momentum coming out not long ago, it got me somewhat interested in DGM. Further, it turned out Simone Mularoni is the lead guitarist here, just like in my favourite italian metal band Empyrios. Let's just jump to my feelings towards Different Shapes: I generally like the style DGM (and Mr Mularoni) represents, it's halfway cheesy - half serious pure metal riffing (the same that the above mentioned group is special about), so I had higher expectations from the beginning. We got various ideas presented on the instruments even if the core concept of the music is the same; interesting solos, lounge fills between verses (those kind of remind me of Dream Theater); but nothing really astonishing; however the vocals are just plain weak for me. From time to time the singer guy just seems to lose his energy in his voice, makes it flat. I can't help it, this is true for Momentum as well. Read more ›› |

I think it's a little overrated, it's great but many songs are not so memorable to make achieve one of the best in the genre status. Still it's one of their strongest albums and I especially like the song "The Alliance", the riffing is great.

Written by Mountain King on 15.02.2021 at 13:22 "best in the genre" is still subjective. Everyone will have a different opinion on what is "the best", you might be opening a Pandora's box here. 
---- I thought the two primary purposes for the internet were cat memes and overreactions.

Written by JoHn Doe on 15.02.2021 at 14:43 Totally agree although there are albums where a high % of people are aligned that it's a legendary or best in the genre album (e.g. Vision/Episode Stratovarius, Keeper Of The Seven Keys etc.). But maybe I didn't explain myself too well, what I meant was that when I saw the 8.5 overall rating with the green color, I thought I was going into a new undiscovered classic whereas I personally prefer Momentum for example which is rated lower. But yea it's all about opinions
