Introspect is an album full of powerful metal songs with a progressive flair about them. The tracks have very strong melodies similar to Dream Theater and Fates Warning.

Chadd, who sounds similar to Geoff Tate (Queensryche) at times has an excellent voice, very powerful with a good vocal range, but also puts a lot of emotion into the lyrics.

Great drums from Mike, excellent bass from Josh and Jeff's keyboards add quite a bit of depth. The two guitarists George and Jason are superb, playing some brilliant rhythms and oustanding solo's.

Introspect has 10 tracks lasting just over 45 Minutes and as you would expect having two guitarists in the band is very guitar orientated. But the tracks are all excellent and there's enough variety to keep the listener happy.

Outstanding tracks are 'A Different Scene', 'Altered Past', Extramental' and 'Undetermined'. This is an album I would recommend to all Progmetal fans especially Dream Theater, Fates Warning fans.
