Visions Of Atlantis.

There once was a time when I enjoyed listening to the music this band put out, but that was back when I had horrible taste in music. Yes, this is going exactly where you think it is.

Basically, the only decent song this band has recorded is Lost, which perfectly defines the band themselves. They're clearly stuck between trying to sound like standard American rock bands (just listen to that guys vocals - come on!!) and a wannabe Nightwish or Tristania.

The whole 'beauty and the beast' vocal style is all well and good if you know how to work it. Not that this guy is really a 'beast' with his vocals. He sounds like an American Idol reject. I'm sure this band is from one of those Nordic countries (a quick Wikipedia check and I see they're from Austria; I was close), but he is trying WAY to hard to SOUND American! WHY! WHY DO YOU DO THAT! His vocals are so substandard. The female in the band isn't that much better either, but at least she doesn't sound like she got kicked out of the top 100 on Idol.

I was presented with a cd of theirs once and I think I listened to half of it and just forgot about it. There was no point. This band are just terrible. The music is predictable and is not unique in the slightest way possible.

That's all I can say. I don't want to waste space anymore.
