"American Soldier" marks the 10th studio release for the Seattle based Prog-Metalers. The album draws it's inspiration from the trials and travails of, well, as the title suggests, American soldiers. What makes this concept particularly interesting is the approach that Geoff Tate and Co. took. It is not a political statement. It does not portray the soldiers as being "just like pawns in chess" nor does the album portray them in a jingoistic "boot up yer ass!" way. It offers the unique approach of the songs portraying the thoughts of the soldiers themselves - with solemn reflections of sacrifice, whether it's the loss of a comrade in battle or the separation from their family.
