I actually listened to that lp on you tube.....while I liked a few of the tracks it sounds too much like every other prog metal band to me. There isnt any particular style or aspect that separates them from all the others for me. Nothing they did 'resonated' with me. When it was over there wasn't a song that stuck in my head....I suppose after repeated spins there could be but not sure I want to put myself through that. ;)
For now Dream Theater, Symphony X, and Threshold.....have some interest for me...sort of ,but I still prefer the heavier neo prog bands like IQ ,Arena, and even Opeth who are more just plain prog metal these days. Also the heavy prog bands like Crimson, Wobbler, and Motorpsycho, and Astra.
One of my favorite 'heavy' bands ....sadly they only did 2 lps. (they did reform as 'Birth')
Both Astra lps are a must imho if you like melodic heavy spacey prog with elements of prog metal at times.

AStra-" Quake Meat"
Giving Astra ~ The Black Chord a listen

Very spacey & psychedelic, not heavy IMO but along the same vein as Eloy & Hawkwind with some Porcupine Tree tossed in there, too.
