When I listen to Odd Logic - Parallax Panorama, I can hear the band is influenced by progressive rock bands like Rush, Dream Theater, Enchant, King's X, Queensryche, Tears For Fears, Symphony X, Genesis, and Styx. Even so, I won’t call this plain progressive rock. It’s more Rock and roll with a few elements of progrock. I don’t see this as a bad thing, because the band sounds good. They have good melodies and a good vocalist. I just don’t think its right to compare Odd Logic directly with progrock. Personally I do hear elements of Alan Parsons Project, and some of the melodies actually reminds me a bit of Little river Band. This does not, by any means, destroy the music. As another author says; “Parallax Panorama is definitely worth the money!” I totally agree. This is quality music with awesome sound, but I don’t think progressive rock is the correct label for this kind of music. If you like good quality rock music, with a few elements of prog - plus very melodic songs, this might be exactly what you're looking for. It’s absolutely worth a 4 star!

This group has got some fantastic sounds, especially if you like soaring guitars and vocals ala Styx and Genesis. Their music is diverse with thought-provoking lyrics and it is definitely not for wusses! The sound samples here really aren't enough to judge them by -- you have to crank it in the car!

Odd Logic's Parallax Panorama is a great for Prog Rock fans.  It has elements of various bands, but is not a copy of any.  The songs are thoughtful, musically challenging and have good vocals and melodies.  This CD is very listenable, and I would recommend it to fans of Queensryche, Dream Theater, Marillion, Enchant and anyone who just likes good quality music that rocks.
