I've been thinking about this for a while now...
I really like Static impulse. Being a huge Dream Theater fan, I needed to check it out. It has a cool feeling throughout and James did a fabulous job. In fact, pretty much every day I play at least one song from Static impulse.
The problem is this, the tunes are great, the general vibe is bad ass, but what makes this album for me is of course LaBrie. I've never been a fan of this kind of modern metal music. I'm quite an oldschool guy, and heavy, power and progressive metal is what I'm into the most when it comes to metal. So I wonder if anyone can recommend me another metal band that plays similar style to what can be heard on Static impulse. I hope I'll be able to enjoy this kind of music with someone else singing.
