Straight ahead, in your face, progressive metal with all the prog signatures you'd expect yet delivering a memorable & accessible hard rock sound.Debut disc by these progressive metal veterans. Just talking About the Universe... So Far, finds the quartet hammering mind blowing, bone crushing tracks that is sure to please even die-hard collectors. If you are familiar with torman maxt from their other releases (The Foolishness of God & The Problem of pain, Part 1)And The Album. Torman Maxt - (Just Talking About the Universe...So Far)The Album. First off, it needs to be said that Torman Maxt presents a rather original brand of Prog-Metal, as the structures of all of the songs on the album are mostly based on the classical acoustic guitar passages, - often even in those parts where there are heavy 'metallic' riffs playing a prominent role. Actually, each of the album's tracks consist of contrasting interchanges of mid-tempo to fast Prog-Metal arrangements and slow to mid-tempo Art-Rock-ish ones. Especially impressive are those parts in which heavy soloing riffs work rapidly, whereas all of the basic arrangements go temperately. Half of the album's songs represent genuine Classic Prog-Metal, full of complex and diverse instrumental and vocal arrangements, sudden changes in tempos and musical directions in general; blistering solos and interplay between electric and acoustic guitars, and both at the rhythm-section as well. These songs are: Summer, The Requiem, Ancient 120, Palace of Desire, and Flowers (tracks 2, 3, 7, 8, & 9). Ancient 120 - the only track on the album that contains an excellent keyboard solo. Apart from all of the other essential progressive ingredients, it has a rich symphonic sound and a tense and dramatic overall atmosphere. So it's an absolute winner. The remaining five tracks, including the only instrumental, Life Sketches 2: Morning, represents Neo Prog-Metal. Well, while the arrangements of songs aren't too extensive and diverse, all of them were created within the framework of a unified stylistics, typical for this album as a whole. In this respect, it's an appropriate time to repeat that the structures of the music of Torman Maxt are rather original. They're free of any of the cliches that are so widespread among traditional Neo Prog-Metal acts, including such popular bands as Symphony X, Stratovarius, Rhapsody, etc. Finally, here are a couple of closing remarks. Apart from very tasteful and diverse vocals by Martin DeBourge, there are lots of excellent backing vocals and even choruses on the album. Although I am almost certain that all of the band members sing on the album, the booklet and the back sleeve of the CD are silent regarding backing vocals and a flautist, who played on Flowers. The Problem of Pain: Part 1 is the first of a two album set. It is a rock opera based upon the book of Job from the Old Testament that investigates why God allows evil and human suffering on earth. Most of Part 2 is already recorded and we are committed to a 2008 release(http://www.holymetalrob.com/)
