All Too Human

A newcomer to the prog metal scene, All Too Human was formed in 1995, and have put out two self-released albums, the latter (2002's Entropy) is reviewed here. The influences on Entropy are familiar (an early Dream Theater influence musically, a strong Queensryche similarity in the vocals), with the arrangements being solid but not too busy, as it's clear the musicians know their stuff but aren't too concerned with in-your-face virtuosity. Hiring onetime Dream Theater keyboardist Derek Sherinian was a nice move, as he contributes some fine keyboard work to the mix. Entropy is a solid modern progressive metal album -- certainly All Too Human is as deserving as any of a major record contract.
