My brother and I had a band back in 1996 which we originally called HELLUSANATION (deliberately misspelled Hell USA Nation, meaning this country is going to shit) which I discovered later there was a Hip Hop band by the same name, so I changed to Far From Reality, because I said that everybody is trying to get as far from reality as they can, and after searching, found these guys....Kudos to them, tho, I like the name, obviously. I dig the music too. They care and are very good musicians.

+Metal God Wuthering Heights is more of a European folk/prog/power metal band, i still like them though. This band is like the heavy version of Dream Theater with a vocalist that is more suited to that style of music than labrie is. Also their songs are more streamlined and contain fewer/shorter instrumental sections.

Wow, I was searching for a band I stumbled upon while listening to a dezer prog metal mix, and found this one by accident. Best accident ever, this band is amazing!

Uhhh yea I'm definitely wanting to know when are they gonna do another album. I dig these guys.

Cool. Love that progressive hard rock blend! Thank you

Astonishing work: the vocals are quite fine for a first release (of course a greater range of vocal ability would be wonderful), the instrumentals exude the neccessary emotions, and the songs altogether induce compell thought and delight.

Masterpiece!! Keep up insane work!!

Its absolutely amazing!

Great stuff like usual.

this album made my night !

Excellent album!! Tout récemment découvert :)

Just Amazing!!!

thanks for upload

This is very amazing i will definitely listen to some of these songs in the album

Fucking ''A''! Greatly Done! Finally a band that understand modern progressive metal

Songwriting is spot on!!! 🤘

There are lots of comments mentioning Dream Theater and, I must say, I totally agree with comparison. It's almost a challenge to find bits in this album that DON'T sound like Dream Theater. I do like DT though and I enjoyed listening to this. I was just hoping for something truly "progressive". Recommendations very welcome!

Haken. Soul Secret. Neal Morse. Implosion. Lost In Thought. But, for the record, I cannot (or will not) compare FFR to DT or any other band. Aside from the genre, I appreciate each band on it's on merit. However, I do not hold anyone at fault for making said comparison but, I cannot help but feel that is very "narrow minded". If wanted, or need be, we can compare everybody to someone else but, in the process, we are disingenuous to our own selves...

Neal Morse - Sola Scriptura kicks ass, the bands you mentioned lean more to prog rock, and don't get me wrong, I love it, Magic Pie - The Suffering Joy had me amazed for months. Still I think that the question of AlanKey86 was more about prog metal. Do you want more of DT? Seventh Wonder (Cannot love them more), Circus Maximus, and Soul Secret are you must check, also, Psychotic Symphony - Sons of Apollo (2017) is out, it's made by Mike Portnoy and Derek Sherinian, good stuff. Also, you have another world of prog metal bands that sound like Symphony X, like Myrath (+10), Darkwater, Adagio, Beyond the bridge, Suspyre and Time Requiem, if you want, I did a playlist: playlist?list=PLONViMs92-gTC8HliGdK8UwmDIY9eKlQP

Prog. Metal? There are more than a few really good ones (Bruno mentioned some good ones) but there is also bands like "Lost in Thought" "Implosion" and can we add "Savatage"? they're my all time favorite band ever. "Spheric Universe Experience" "Liquid Tension Experiment" "EarthCry" "Wingdom" and "Winterborn" should all be considered as well

@VersusThem

6 жыл бұрын

Yep, I didn't mention Lost in Thought because it goes a little out of my musical taste, just like Haken, I know everyone loves Haken but there's something that doesn't appeal to me particularly. Savatage is a classic, I wouldn't put them alongside with DT in the same category, but they kick ass anyway, especially Trans Siberian Orchestra which is today's Savatage. Liquid Tension Experiment was basically the most known DT side project, good stuff. Can't find anything of "EarthCry" though. But yeah, you have like too many very good progressive metal bands, you just have to search hard enough, they never cease to appear. Kamelot - The Black Halo, Redemption - Snowfall on Judgment day, Voyager - V, Ayreon - Many albums are great, Theocracy - As the world bleeds, Trans Siberian Orchestra - Beethoven's last Night (and pretty much everything), Circle of Illusion - Jeremias Foreshadow of Forgotten Realms (awesome prog blues funk fusion). I just don't want to go outside of the genre, I would say Wintersun, Scar Symmetry and Raintime are awesome bands, but I would be mixing prog with melodeath and I know most people can't stand screams, it's just my taste. Hell, I could even do the same with more Power metal "stratovariusish" bands and less prog

Sound very much like Dream Theater....testing the ability of the listener to keep time, which is not a bad thing at all...music such as this and Dream Theater, is gratifying after the listener puts a little effort into understanding it...after all, these guys did not just show up one day and jam while they were recording. Progressive music is MUSICIAN'S music. Simple as that.

@@junkcarsinc9467 - Fates Warning are the KINGS of prog metal, IMO! As a CT resident and musician, I’ve been a fan and friend of the band since before they were signed. Jim Matheos is an absolute monster guitarist, master songwriter and all-around cool mofo! Many prog metal bands lack depth of feeling (DT, I’m looking at you), but FW (and Arch-Matheos, too) have the perfect blend of heavy, catchy, melodic and meaningful. It’s a shame they remain in DT’s shadow because they’re by far the superior band.

I dissagree with the comment below...this guy has a nice voice.. ( he reminds me of someone, but I am racking myself..in trying to think of who..?? )..technically he is perfect in every way & .ideal for this genre of music..very nice album and band.. :)

I think these newer bands sound too similar to Dream Theater. The fast harmonic progressions, the clean leads, the vocals are somewhat similar to James LaBrie's as well. The thing that upsets me the most though, are the same Petrucci solo tones. Petrucci shouldn't be copied. He's one of a kind. Create your own tone.

+Magnus Imperium i understand what you mean about the petrucci sounding solos. But other than that i think this band is a little more straightforward than DT while still retaining some progressive elements. They focus more on catchy choruses and riffs than DT. More influence from European power metal i think.
