Warthur
Ever wonder what Dream Theater would sound like if they dabbled in a few more musical styles - a bit of melodicism borrowed from neo-prog here, a mildly spacey bit here, perhaps a Muse influence over there? Well, I guess Circus Maximus must have also been wondering because they've produced something a lot like that here on Nine. The gang wear their Dream Theater influence on their sleeve - Michael Eriksen's take on James LaBrie's vocal style, in particular, is outright uncanny - so it is at least good, well done Dream Theater mimicry. But mimicry it is, so if - like me - you are lukewarm to DT, you're also likely to be lukewarm to these chaps.
