Score Magnitude 9 out of 10.......2006-04-27

I'm very impressed with this disc. For those unfamiliar with the band, they play song-oriented prog metal. The best description would be a blend of early Labyrinth w/ 'parallels'-era Fates Warning. While the musicianship is very strong, they don't feel the need to drag the songs out while endlessly showing off; Kudos. This album seems a lil' heavier than earlier material I've heard, perhaps the new bassist helped out in this regard (?). Only complaint would be that many of the songs are similarly paced and thus sorta 'same-sounding', but it's still a great album. Stand-out tracks IMO are 'New Dimmension', 'Torn', and the speedier 'Dead in Their Tracks'.
Definitely worth checking out for fans of Labyrinth or 90's Fates Warning.

I heard some samples of Magnitude 9's music on a website somewhere and was very enthusiastic to buy Decoding the Soul. But after a few listens to the entire CD I was just disappointed. The whole album sort of drags and just left me flat. Not a bad album, just ho-hum.

Great band + Great songs = Great CD.......2004-09-08

This is an excellent CD for those who enjoy great rock musicians and singers performing full-bore, melodic songs. As you would expect the guitar playing is supreme, the band is over the top and tight, the singer is a REAL singer and the production is excellent (make sure you EQ this CD flat, otherwise you will lose the excellent lead vocals). This CD is much more listenable then a lot of progressive rock, such as Symphony X and Dream Theater. If you want great musicians playing songs that you can enjoy than this is an excellent choice. As great as the band is, the singer ensures that you get your moneys worth as he is up to the task and has what sounds like a well trained voice.

One of my favorite Cd finds so far this year. If you like metal - hardrock , fused with prog & power metal elements , Get this CD . It is not a total progmetal type of cd like Dream Theater , But more like TNT , FATES WARNING , LYNCH MOB , DOKKEN , QUEENSRYCHE , Etc. Good songs , that are not too long like most of the " prog " genre of bands. MAGNITUDE NINE is simply a great melodic metal group , not prog , but more metal I guess . But this is what I liked about them ... They are not trying to be just another DREAM THEATER rip off ... And I like that . Good stuff !

Magnitude 9 is one of my favorite discoveries, next to Jorn Lande that is! I'm not going to give you the same ol' review we read time and time again on Amazon! With that in mind, I'll just say that Decoding the Soul is well produced, the songs are solid with no filler, and that it's completly different from their previous effort, Reality In Focus....which is a good thing! Some bands get into the pattern of releasing the same record over and over, and that's not the case with Magnitude 9, so far anyway! I also recommend Masterplan, Balance of Power's Heathen Machine, Tad Morose, and anything from Nightwish and Symphony X!
