The Dreamer's Paradox is less of a rock album and more like a live, recorded symphony. It starts out with an Overture, showing the listener what they will be hearing the entire album. Then the music proceeds to tell a story.

JT Bruce is talented, and the album has the best production values of any album I'ver heard on Jamendo. This is retail quality, people. The best song here is the "Dreamer's Overture," mainly because it shows brief glimpses of every main musical theme throughout.

Long, brooding but with hope, and enormously epic. It's a big album, in more ways than one.

Get it. Now.

some great instrumentals, good decision on not letting bad metal singers ruin your stuff.
could be a good source for mixers.. but we're not supposed to alter, transform or build upon this album. oops.

I think best tracks on this album are Life by Proxy and The Dreamer's Overture. Album sounds pretty unique and made me understand the point of progressive metal enought that I went and borrowed couple Dream Theather albums, but after listening those a while I decided that JT Bruce's material was better. I like the cover design it's pretty awesome. I am hobby cartoonist/musician and I like that kind of simple design. Simple vocals are beautiful and guitars are great but JT Bruce could use more real instruments instead of machines.

These guys are striving to become new "Canvas Solaris" or "Gordian Knot". But in the end all the vast amount of great progressive ideas goes to waste because of the simple lack of musical harmony knowledge. It seems that they're just recycling the same track over and over and over in ten more cosmetically different versions. It's all the same. I just fall asleep every time I begin listening to it. The "The verge of Illusory Twillight" track is very good, but if you've listened to it you've pretty much listened to all the rest.

Luminous Flesh Giants are much better, even though they use nothing but the old school metal rig. JT uses a lot of synthesized sounds, which is a good thing, especially for progressive. However if you can't make the pieces fit together well no amount of synthesized sounds will ever make it right. If you were looking for something original and fresh I suggest you move forward: there is little to see here.

Przesłuchalem już ten album kilka razy i za każdym podoba mi sie tylko początek - Nie ukrywam że, to dośc nowatorskie brzmienie (przynajmniej dla mnie) pełne ciekawych aranżacji, ale po jakimś czasie sie poprostu nudzi. Widać, że goście mają ambicje i odwage grać nietypowo, ale temu albumowi czegoś brakuje, czegoś co scaliłoby go w jedną całośc.

Polecam kawałek w którym nagle znienacka milknie gitara i pojawia się piękny, zmysłowy żenski wokal:)

Absolutely awesome music. The sound ranges from almost classical music to good, hard metal.

This hardcore instrumental metal album will be loved by anyone who appreciates what metal can do.
