Verdict (& Rating): 'Overly' complex Prog (70%)

Dimension X have a somewhat long winded history, suffice to say that this is their first album in their current form. As you may have guessed from the link to their record label, Unicorn Records, Dimension X play progressive rock.
Dimension X remind me of mixure of Magellan and Dream Theater. Like Dream Theater they play complex music, but with less of a metal and more of a rock edge and mixing in some classical influences. With Dimension X I found the songs to be 'very busy' and all quite similair with little to distinguish between them. There is therefore little comment to make on individual tracks. In terms of the vocals, they are quite 'low' and I actually thought of the guy from electro-popsters Depeche Mode. The instruments, to these untrained ears, all appear to well played.
With Dimension X I found that there was so much going on in the tracks that, at times, they were tiring to listen to. A strange statement from a DT fan, but somehow I didn't quite 'connect' with Dimension X's music
