Valour and Over The Top are really great tracks. So what if it's a bit of a departure, too?

I listened to The Dark Third and was completely fascinated. It was very unique; I loved it. This album, however, left me sorely disappointed. It's mediocre at best, with cheesy synth based filler making up the majority of the album. And what the the heck happened to the male singer's voice? It's so nasally. It almost sounds as bad as M. Shadows of A7x

So it's not prog in the strict sense, but so what? It's still good, and has a unique blend of sounds.

@karmapolice911 Thanks for being the heretic here, the lone voice. I agree. It's different from TDT, but that's a good thing -- they wouldn't be progressive if they didn't.. progress. In this case, they manage to do some really interesting blending of electronic elements with the great harmonies and instrumentation they do so well. It's an interesting blend that manages to not sound like a copy. Definitely better and more dynamic than AVO, in my opinion. Neither better nor worse than TDT (although I prefer TDT, personally), just a different animal.

There is nothing about this album that sounds like it's copying anyone else. PRR still have a very unique and driving sound, it just happens to have lots of electronic sounds to it now. Personally, I love it. The Dark Third is one of my favorite albums ever, but they had to move on. Each album sounds different than the last, which is kinda the point of prog, isn't it? I'm really enjoying Hammer and Anvil as a standalone work, and I feel bad for anyone who's disappointed just because it's something different.

I thought when the new PRR album came out, it would be more prog-rock than AVO. Now I sounds even more electronic than AVO. :\
