Been listening to Frankenstein nonstop for days now and this is some classic prog metal. This isn't anything groundbreaking, it's just great prog in my eyes...
This sums up the album to me...
First off, this is not the most modern or innovative take on progressive rock or metal but that’s not at all the point here. The music here is just glorious and extremely powerful as befits its literary source. This is also Campbell’s second recording based on a literary classic, the first being his take on the legend of Orpheus in 2010. Campbell plays ALL of the instruments and uses a lot of heavy guitars along with keyboards. From his bio, he’s played a wide variety of roles in various bands from drums, guitar, keyboards and bass in his attempt to, as he puts it, “create a perfect blend of Dream Theater, Queen, Spock’s Beard, Symphony X, Pantera, Elton John, Tool, and ELO.”
