CRITIC REVIEWS

Metal Injection
This is a fun record. It's a record that does require a time commitment. I'd say listeners should treat it as a proper musical or film in a theater. Try to experience it all in one sitting for the full effect. It's absolutely worth it.

Metal Sucks

In a music business ruled by the mp3 paradigm, Theory is a bold argument for the album format. Putting this stuff on an iPod Shuffle would be confusing as hell. No, this is an album you put in your stereo, sit down, listen to for 89 minutes, and come out the other end a changed man. Now get this album and prog the fuck out.
