Certainly true. I mean this is typical album from the neoprogressive genre (IQ, Jadis, Arena etc.).

So many neoprog legends link now their old, classic style with elements of metal. This is real phenomen, look.. last albums of: Arena, Jadis, Pallas, Galahad (the one that will come out in late 2006 - I've already heard), Pendragon, add to this Riverside... on all these albums there was step into prog metal. Actually from neoprog legends only IQ didn't do that on latest release. So maybe Frost didn't do that either and this is what they see as being progressive . But well... whether good or bad album.. this is not next Mars Volta.
