Kicks Ass
All around great album, another reviewer stated the vocals are glam, obviously that person did not listen to this album (or maybe deaf), not at all glam, the singer is a little reminiscent of Geoff Tate in tonal quality. This album is soooo much better than previous efforts, too bad the singer is now growling with BioMechanical 80% of the time, (Empires of the world, available here on emusic, I have it in spite of the growly type of singing which in general I hate). Favorite track is title track also Chemical Imbalance, no place like home, wake up call and necessary evil. Very good production quality, love the drummer, the only nitpick I have with this album is most of the guitar solos suck (re: sloppy and overprocessed). Still its one of my favorites in will be in regular rotation for years !!!!
