Now THIS is what modern progressive metal should sound like!! While I got it mainly for their cover of ELP's "Endless Enigma", the original tracks do not disappoint. It's got all the proper elements -- sweeping melodies, long time lengths, even a female lead singer (who actually sings, instead of using a fake opera voice, a la Nightwish and a host of other "Beauty and the Beast" bands that I'll never get into) -- but somehow, they make all original-sounding, instead of falling into the trap of becoming yet another mindless clone of Dream Theater. Highly recommended!
