A review by
Doc G. April 23, 2011
First of all, this band has written some incredible music! It's a massive prog-drenched power metal type sound. When we're talking about a massive sound - that's genuine! It's great, heavy riffing that's almost lifted, pushed to a more grandiose height by some dominant synths. The giant synth/guitar combo is anchored with tough-as-nails drumming. The chemistry is great - rarely do bands sound as tight as this. Hell, they get away without even having any type of real build-up. Each moment stands so well on it's own that it completely redeems itself for the lack of direction that's displayed here.
...And then there was vocals. Good lord, I haven't come across vocals this embarrassing since first stepping in that steaming pile of Babylon Mystery Orchestra. Why does this guy need to warble his voice so much? It's not lack of control, as he does prove to have sufficient power to handle his job, but he does this "sing like I'm shivering" crap almost constantly. You want an idea of how this guy sounds? First, pucker your lips - good. Next, place your index finger horizontally across your mouth - as if you were pointing to someone next to you. The proceed to move your finger up and down across your lips as rapidly as possible while singing in a generic power metal voice. Doing this will cause one or two outcomes; you manage to fuck up seemingly audible English, and/or you will become reasonable candidate to sing for Tangent Plane.
Music? Fan-freaking-tastic. Vocals? Fire him. Please.

Drum & guitar lingo I've got a good understanding of, vocals not so much. Thank you though, it's definitely knowledge I'm sure I'll have use for in future reviews.

Haven't listened to it, now I'm curious; I like when people take singing lessons. Now, should we stop spamming, eh?
