Рецензия с totalmetal.net:
В 1991 году группа композитора, певца, клавишника и продюсера Трента Гарднера Magellan начала выпуском альбома "Hour Of Restoration" историю фирмы Magna Carta. Выглядит неслучайным, что юбилей лейбла отмечен настоящей рок-оперой Трента "Leonardo - The Absolute Man": нет сомнения, что этот CD поспособствует переходу Magna Carta от статуса лейбла для чересчур преданных поклонников современного прогрессив-рока к статусу серьезной мэйнстримовой рок-фирмы. Что же касается самого 66-минутного альбома, то трехлетнее ожидание его выпуска видится теперь более чем оправданным - весьма непростые партии вокала на CD исполнили такие величины современной прог-сцены, как фронтмен Dream Theater Джеймс ЛяБри, Дэви Пэттисон (экс-Gamma и группа Робина Троуэра), Мишелль Янг (Glass Hammer), Джош Пинкус (Ice Age), Лиза Бушель (Mastermind и October Baby), Майк Бэйкер (Shadow Gallery), сам Трент Гарднер, Роберт Берри, Стив Уолш (Kansas), Крис Шряк (Under The Sun) и Брет Дуглас (Cairo), и записать его быстрее вряд ли получилось бы. Не менее искусны и инструменталисты - это сам Трент (клавишные и духовые инструменты), его брат - гитарист Уэйн (Magellan) и трое музыкантов квинтета Dali's Dilemma - барабанщик Джереми Колсон, гитарист Патрик Рейес и его брат - басист Стив. Описывать весьма разнообразную музыкальную составляющую такого произведения совершенно бесполезно, однако подумайте, что получилось, если бы полные составы Dream Theater, Magellan и Kansas засели вместе за написание крупной формы, да еще с построенными по всем классическим канонам оперными партиями? Остается сообщить, что смикшировал материал CD легендарный экс-продюсер Rush Терри Браун, а обложку оформил культовый художник Дэйв МакКин. И "Leonardo..." - не просто один из лучших рок-альбомов 2001-го. Это - один из лучших альбомов десятилетия.

Notes:
With this 2001 release, Dream Theater vocalist James LaBrie follows up his relatively successful 1999 solo effort, Keep It to Yourself. Once again, the vocalist garners support from guitarist Mike Keneally -- along with Magna Carta's roster keyboardist, Trent Gardner, and others -- for this progressive/hard rock outing brought by the band known as Mullmuzzler. As one might expect, LaBrie delivers the goods in a rather powerful and at times commanding fashion amid the band's often-thunderous rhythms, scorching guitars, and textural synths. Essentially, LaBrie projects his voice rather well atop a series of straight-four rockers, odd-metered excursions, and keyboardist Matt Guillory's delicately rendered motifs, whether performing on acoustic piano or electric keys. Thus, soloing is kept to a minimum here, yet midway through this production a sense of invariability hovers over the proceedings, largely due to the unwavering flow and disproportionate similarities of these compositions. However, the band does eventually deviate from the plan a bit, as they delve into acoustic/electric interludes in conjunction with LaBrie's heartfelt balladry and some memorably melodic hooks provided by Guillory. Otherwise, it may be prudent to suggest that the final moments do not compensate for a lack of strong material. ~ Glenn Astarita, All Music Guide.

Notes:
FRAMESHIFT is a unique project featuring DREAM THEATER’s vocalist James LaBrie and CHAIN’s lead guitarist/keyboardist/composer/producer Henning Pauly; bassist/stick player Nik Guadagnoli and drummer Eddie Marvin complete the line-up. Pauly used a lot of different musical styles for this project, so this is not for fans of metal prog per se. His goal was to (1) produce an album featuring LaBrie in ways no one had ever heard him before, (2) combine elements of prog rock, film scores and modern production, and (3) use Richard Dawkins’ books on evolution as a concept to connect all songs; he has definitely achieved all three goals with the album “Unweaving the Rainbow”.

Рецензия с www.metallibrary.ru:
Первые звуки True Symphonic Rockestra. Первая реакция – шок и трепет. Непонимание того, прикалываются музыканты или это всё по-настоящему. Вроде как не может быть на полном серьёзе. А вдруг? Ну представьте себе, с места в карьер берёт "Nessun Dorma" товарища Пуччини, которую запевает Джеймс ЛаБри из Dream Theater, а продолжает самый настоящий оперный вокал. Дальше – больше. Мелодии начинают меняться с калейдоскопической быстротой, а в классические мотивы добавляются тяжёлые партии. Необычно до жути. Выбор двух теноров и одного ЛаБри – всё возможное от Верди до Ллойда Уэббера, от Бернстайна до Роджерса, от "Очи чёрные" до известных голливудских тем. Честно говоря, я даже не понимаю, как характеризовать это чудо природы. Чувствую себя неуютно. Примерно так, как если бы скамейка, на которой вы сидите, спросила бы вдруг: "Как дела?" Очень странно, и, насколько я понимаю, аналогов в мире у этой авантюры нет. Были похожие проекты, но все они, на мой взгляд, выполнены немножко по-иному. Слишком камерно и предсказуемо. Здесь же всё динамично, запись бьёт по темечку. Но оценить всё равно невозможно, поскольку сравнить не с чем. Посему не буду.
