Starting off at an interesting pace, \u201cEchoes\u201d by Gracepoint is full of the twists and turns that you\u2019d expect out of a modern-day progressive metal band.\u00a0 Tight and precise, the group journeys through 10 tracks of solid, if not unspectacular prog.<\/p>\n

Although the down-tuned guitar and overall musicianship got me interested at first, as the album progresses I see some cracks in the foundation.\u00a0 While the first-half of the album is unrelenting and forceful (save for the short and clean \u201cSecrets\u201d with it\u2019s laid-back guitar-driven subtlety), I find myself losing interest as the tracks progress further.\u00a0 The vocals are quite a turn-off for me as they\u2019re very reminiscent of nu-metal (think Godsmack).\u00a0 He tried his best, and it\u2019s not for lack of effort on his part, but they just don\u2019t fit with this group.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m totally on board with the talent of this group in general.\u00a0 Their musical flair oozes out of the speakers.\u00a0 This is definitely pure, hard-edged prog that\u2019s rough and straight ahead, and not a prog-metal band with noticeable 70\u2019s influences (which seems to be a pre-requisite in various degrees with various bands in today\u2019s climate).\u00a0 The guitars are the big highlight for me as the style reminds me a lot of Jeff Loomis (ex-Nevermore), and that\u2019s a high compliment.\u00a0 Furious syncopation is the order of the day with the song structures, which are noticeable and appreciated, but then the band go from that to sounding plodding and depressing.\u00a0 It can throw the listener off as the flow is not continual.\u00a0 This proves to me that you can have all the talent in the world in a band, but the feel and drive of all members needs to gel into a cohesive sound.<\/p>\n

If the band could\u2019ve built on the opening tracks and kept the momentum going, I would have jumped at the chance to be more interested in this album as a musical journey rather than a task of frustration.<\/p>\n
