I only listened to this one and it's not that metal. Not what I imagined under prog metal however, in all cases, I rate the album based on the music and to me this was just average listenable music.

Written by Mountain King on 01.10.2020 at 19:37 I don't know why Arena are under progressive metal here. I'm not surprised you did not like it. But this album is anything but average. Average compare to what? What other neo-prog have you heard?

Written by JoHn Doe on 01.10.2020 at 20:40 I would say it's more prog rock than metal. Not sure what falls under neo-prog but apart from the my prog metal favorites (most are listed in my favorite bands in my profile), I quite enjoy Porcupine Tree, Soen, Shadow Gallery (they slightly reminded me of them in some songs), can't remember what else at the moment as I listen to a lot of bands. I don't really mind that it's not that metaly and I listen to non-metal genres including pop. I just wasn't that impressed but I might have tied that to an expectation that it's prog metal (Symphony X, Adagio, Circus Maximus etc.). I will give this band another try in the future.

Great flow on this record and there's some truly wonderful moments. It's not my favourite of them but it's one of those records that keeps getting better with each listen. You cannot judge me, that's not your place There's a jury for the crime's of my disgrace You hide behind those vacant words Have you seen what I've seen? Have you heard what I've heard?
