Anyone get their latest, "Waiting in the Wings" ? Good stuff, just signed to Intromental and they are in the vein of Syx and Circus Max IMO. Anyone else care to comment?

Yeah, I posted a thread about them awhile back but they
seemed to have flown under the radar. WAITING IN THE WINGS
is one of the best albums of the year IMO and deserves more
attention, hopefully it will get more exposure and not just slip
through the cracks. Excellent band for PP methinks...

I knew this band had great potential subsequent to my review of their
debut album BECOME, and sure enough, WAITING IN THE WINGS has proved
me right. An almost perfect balance of prog and melodic metal, WAITING
IN THE WINGS is sure to raise more than a few eyebrows in the
community as its many delights are discovered. One of the first things
you notice about WAITING IN THE WINGS is the phenomenal voice of Tommy
Karevik, who is ideal for this type of music. Check out the
extraordinary "Taint The Sky" for a quick overview of what this band
is capable of, its memorable keyboard intro leading to some killer
rhythmic grooves, tricky instrumental passages and that awesome voice!
Guitarist Johan Liefvendahl really distinguishes himself throughout
the album, delivering involved yet tasteful solos in unexpected
places. Andreas Blomqvist keeps the bass guitar foundation interesting
and appropriate, while drummer Johnny Sandin skillfully manages all
manner of time changes and technical challenges. Seventh Wonder
certainly wouldn't be what they are without keyboardist Andreas "Kyrt"
Soderin, his playing flashy in all the right places while adding the
element of drama and atmosphere so important to progressive music.
More brilliance is revealed on the crunchy "Banish The Wicked,"
majestic "Devil's Inc.," hard-hitting "Walking Tall," and anthemic
"The Edge Of My Blade." The band gets a little too far into AOR
territory on "Not An Angel" and finishes the album with the pleasant
but relatively sedate "Pieces," but these are very small qualms; with
uniformly strong material, adroit performances along with an
outstanding mix and production provided by Tommy Hansen and Daniel
Flores you have the ingredients for a superior album, and WAITING IN
THE WINGS does not disappoint. I just hope these guys get the
recognition they deserve! Stunning...

This disc may have flown under the radar over here, but plenty are noticing:

You just have to know where to read.
This place leans more towards the power side, so it doesn't greatly surprise me that Wating in the Wings wouldn't garner similar raves here.
It's a monster disc, though, and LIKELY to be my #1 for the year.
