For example, "Ivory Tower" does not consider the alternative models of higher education that work elsewhere.
And what the USA can learn from them? Europe is, after all, the taproot of US higher education. For at least a decade now there's been a wave of young Americans who come to Europe for affordable, excellent higher education.
Reverse immigration -- is this not tragic? On one level this documentary is like the "World Series" in US baseball --which pretty much excludes the rest of the world. That said, this is otherwise an excellent news piece about a deeply troubled, divided time in US Higher Education. There's almost a percolating Civil War. For "Ivory Tower" is also about the larger crisis in US social mobility. Intricately designed and packed with concept art and unit photography from the Warner Bros.

It starts with a melodic vocal line over piano The guitar solo is in pure power-metal vein.
This has everything: it starts menacing, with a fear-inducing guitar riff over piston-like bass drums; the instrumental intro last for a few measures, and the sudden appearance of the keys make for a moment of rest before the onslaught of fury that is the main verse; Fischer sound quite good here, restrained, not trying to over-reach; when a very low voice says Foreboding in what sounds like a threat, the chorus comes a a relief, an anthem to hold on to your dreams no matter what; but the best part of this short-epic 11 minutes is the middle instrumental: first the bass alone makes an statement, soaring guitars punctuate its discourse Game of Life , after such a number, everything that follows just pales in comparison.
But this short track holds its own Fischer's singing gets worse but not annoying; no drums here, only at the end in the form of snare-rolls complementing the soaring statement by vocals and guitars. The guitar solo is Boge at his most Petrucci in terms of melody not quite, really I just have one complain: is too DT- ish.
A very typical prog-metal track with a great chorus and good solos If there's something I can't stand from power- metal bands is the exaggerated use of the double bass playing at ultra fast speed Too derivative. The middle section is decent, though. Treehouse Theme? Now, that theme is good but nothing great, it's not like it's a incredible melody, so, what was the point? Again, the DT references are there. Good but not in the level of Foreboding. The chorus sounds very close in style to those in Mullmuzzler works LaBrie's band before Elements of Persuasion.
In the end, not a flawless album. Not even near-perfect album. There are two main problems: one, a couple of songs are just not good. Yes, at times this sounds too close to Dream Theater. But for Foreboding alone, this album earns a better-than-average recommendation. That song is just superb.
Even with the DT references, that one sounds original enough for us to award Ivory Tower with a fourth star. It's very simple: if you like prog-metal, this is an excellent addition to your collection.
Just don't think you'll be blown away with innovation:what you have here is very-well- played prog-metal music DT-style, a couple of great songs, a marvelous one, and a couple of fillers. What you don't have here is a band that sounds like nobody else. Copyright Prog Archives, All rights reserved.
