"The band comes from Australia and this is its debut album... and I have to say that it is quite interesting for a beginning. It seems that the band is still in the process of digesting its influences creatively. This means that although some quite evident influences from big names of progressive music appear here and there within the record, the band offers a good proposition, which has an original stigma that might evolve to something even better in the future. The band plays a kind of progressive rock/metal, with some very intense classical inspirations. The tempos here are rather slow, but that offers a lyrical approach to the music. The prog trio manages to deliver some very good compositions (like my favourite “Analyse”) of clean-cut progressive metal, that doesn’t fall in the trap of complicated, but boring songs. On the contrary the band manages to keep the duration of the songs rather sort (around 5 minutes), reminding me thus a lot of Psychotic Waltz and Leviathan. The approach here is closer to the one of the aforementioned bands, or Poverty’s No Crime, Soul Cages and Fates Warning and less to Dream Theater or Shadow Gallery. In general I think that the band has huge potentials, I suggest prog fans to check them out and I’m looking forward to listening to more from them."

"There is something to be said for a prog rock/metal band that places their emphasis on the song, where the musical element is built around catchy hooks and memorable riffs, rather than going way deep into the improvisation factor. Without Ending is one of those bands that writes material that encompasses the songwriting ideology and builds their technical approach upon the musical stamina that is driven with complicated minded compositions..."

"With that said, WithoutEnding's debut album is much better than Dream Theater's premiere outing. In the grand scheme, this says very little and yet it says a lot. It is an achievement to even produce an album, and for this I give them high praise. It is an even greater feat when the first one has a couple redeeming qualities. Many bands that have soared to legendary status started with meager profits. WithoutEnding, however, has produced what I would consider a decent album..."

...The first time I listened it was a hard job, but in some kind of way it attracted to me to get a couple of more listenings. During these the album got better and better and now I often put this one in my player just to enjoy their music. And with it the album still grows. It's kind like an exploration. Mostly these are the ones who become classics in the future.
