5.0 out of 5 stars Balance Brings Back Harmonies, March 22, 2004

By	Vince Wylde "vincewylde" (Lancaster, MA United States) - See all my reviews

While alot of Power Metal / Prog Metal bands seem to have this idea that you can write a decent song without Harmonies if you just add a ton of flare, Balance gets back to basics. Heavy guitars, soaring vocals, and Harmonies!!!

Ok, so they are all the same guy dubbed. But what ropes you in? The production of a song? Or the fact that the band puts 100% effort into their work? Most people are caught by production...

In my opinion, Balance delivers both.

4.0 out of 5 stars good DT-style power/prog, February 8, 2004

By	"thepowercosmic" (Winter Park, FL USA) - See all my reviews

if you like this genre, like me, then this is a worthy addition to your collection. Good rhythm work, and strong, melodic DT/Queensryche vocals. Not amazing, but well above average with good production.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album, January 24, 2004

By A Customer

I had never heard of Balance of Power till a friend told me to get this album,so i did,and i must say wow this is great classic rock/metal for a new millenuim.Powerful vocal's which would be a cross of Dream Theater and Yes,seething guiatar rythm's with a very crisp edge,and pummeling drums that have some of the best bass drum production sounds i've ever heard.All songs are catchy and have you singing with them at times with great chorus's,also each song has its on depth and lots of vocal harmonies to go around.So if you like good solid metal without any of today's flash then check these guys out,you won't regret it.
