When I first received this album, it was in a promo package that compared the band favorably to 10CC. Warner Brothers records appeared to be very excited about them. And I actually heard the song Step Into My Groove on the radio a few times. I never suspected that this band's next album, "Dos", would become one of my all-time favorite albums.
This album is more like crossover prog than heavy prog, but there are still some elements. There is definitely a 10CC feel, especially in Step Into My Groove and Do What You Want. But there is also a psychedelic Pink Floyd vibe, the best example being Ghost Beside My Bed.
I enjoy this album more than I originally did, because of the second album they recorded. But I still can't rate it better than three stars.
It's just too bad that Warner Brothers had no idea how to market the band.

If there is any album that I just could not live without, this is it. More than any other album from the last two decades this just strikes a chord with me. I was first taken in by the incredible musicianship on Where Is Harrison Ford (?), but was soon enraptured by just about every song on the album.
This is inventive, mostly high-energy hard rock, that has some elements of Crack The Sky and Pink Floyd. The hardest rocking songs, This Just Might Take Me Down and Made Of Gasoline, have more than enough prog flourishes to satisfy this prog fan. And Licking The V... (yes, it is about what you think it's about) is one of the sexiest songs recorded.
Darkness Visible is an amazing piece, with snakelike guitaring in an eastern sounding metal motif, and it leads to Thinkin' Bout Movin' To A Catatonic State, which is, in my opinion, the greatest prog metal song ever recorded.
Special mention must be given to the lyrics. Rarely, in any form of music, does a lyricist capture my attention, and just amaze me with his adeptness with words, like Gregory Markel does here. Some of the lines still, after hundreds of listens, bring a tear to my eyes.
An amazing thing, this band's albums can be found on many sites selling at 99 cents. Get them. It will be the best buck you ever spent.

ALTERED STATE is a California band that combines Primus-like metal with a Pink Floyd understanding of art pop production, and should not be confused with avant rock band Altered States or pop-rockers Alter'd State. The group was formed in Huntington Beach in 1990 by Gregory MARKEL(vocals,guitar), Chip MORELAND(drums), Howard ULYATE(bass) and Curtis MATHEWSON(guitar,keyboards) from the ashes of SHOW of HANDS. This lineup was picked up by Warner Records which released their self-titled debut in 1991.
Bassist ULYATE had left during the recording (leaving MATHEWSON to take his place), so when the remaining three members began their support tour for the debut album, multi-instrumentalist Riz STORY took over bass duties. In 1992, hot off the sleeper hit "Ghost Beside My Bed", the group settled down for another album and another change in bass players - this time friend Paul EDWARDS - resulting in 1993s 'Dos', a combination of new and earlier material stretching back to the Show of Hands days.
Despite a couple of radio hits, 'Dos' was to be the quartet's last album (so far). In 1995, Altered State split up and its members sought separate solo careers. However, in 2006 the band reformed briefly with Markel and Moreland reprising their roles, joined by Christian NESMITH on guitar (the son of the Monkee) and Howard Ulyate, the original bassist. Since 2007, the team appears to be on hiatus again but it seems that wherever MARKEL and MORELAND are playing together, there Altered State shall be.
Stylistically the boys draw influence from hardrock/classic metal as Led Zeppelin and Rush as well as eighties Alternative like U2, with richly produced ballads sharing the same space as crunchy, erratic heavy rock. The material on Dos found the band experimenting with avant-garde metal and alternative jazz, but Altered State rarely moves too far from lush, loud, progressive songwriting.
