After just listening to "Images And Words" it's hard to believe that this band(along with a thousand others) weren't influenced by that record. From the parts i'm not too fond of with the tender vocals to the sections that i love that are powerful and complex. What i also like about these Swedes is that they seem to put sections in their music that are like reference points to bands that influenced them. This really is a feel good album for me and the enjoyment factor is higher than it is for DREAM THEATER's very influencial recording. I like the variety here too from the atmosphere to the all out assaults, and the keyboards are used the way i like them as well. All in all a very solid record that is tempting me to rate it 4.5 stars but i'll stick with 4 stars for now. A must for Prog-Metal fans.
