Description/Review

Between the Words is not what one would expect when listening to a progressive metal album. Adrian Łukaszewski's drums are more reminiscent of the progressive rock of Flying Colors than of the prog metal of Dream Theater. Mechanism introduce some musical variety with songs such as Between the Words, which is a short, tranquil piano piece, reminiscent of Mannheim Steamroller's first album, Fresh Aire I. The guitar work throughout the album is heavy, with very few soaring solos. Rafał Stefanowski's vocals are similar in tone to more mainstream rock/metal groups, with his approach aptly fitting the dark concept of the album. Nevertheless, it is the keyboards, complicated bass work, and prog drumming that classify this album as progressive metal.
