The one and only album from this band from Argentina.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
This band released their album through MySpace and Spotify as a free album before they gave up the ghost.
I am not a big fan of copycats. OK, I quite enjoy the Yes and Genesis copycats. But they do it with skills and style. Initial Gravity, on the other hand.....
... is a Dream Theater copycat.
It is like I am starting to believe that Lost is an album Dream Theater was not happy with, but still felt had to be released some way or another. That as a made up Argentina band and released in silence without any fanfare.
But this is not a Dream Theater album as the musicians in Initial Gravity is nowhere as good as the great musicians in Dream Theater. That also include the vocalist who does a very good job trying to sound as James Labrie but still falls short of the target.
The songs has taken a lot from Dream Theater songs and I get the feeling that the band sometimes has taken Dream Theater songs and tweaked them into their own. A lot of tweaking, but still tweaking.
The result is still a decent album and a sure (free) purchase if you cannot get enough of the real thing; Dream Theater. The album is a charming album, I gladly admit.
