I was a bit surprised when I learned the Suomi Metal Star contest winners Oddland are a progressive band. Even though the contest organisers, Century Media, have a few notable prog metal bands in their roster, I imagined they would go for something more straightforward. However, as soon as I heard what Oddland have to offer I must say that Century Media have shown some great taste; The Treachery Of Senses is an outstanding debut album and seems to be exactly what they were after.

It's a good premise, but it was quite boring the times I listened to it.

This album boring? Can't conceive of such a possibility, really.

Must be that I've heard a lot of similar stuff already, can't find anything bad with the music itself.

It starts off a bit genero-proggy but gets really interesting with the fourth track. You can tell they're Finns, too. Fine little album.

Are you people serious? i love prog metal...this isnt it. This shit sounds unmusical to me, really really bad. I had to lie down after I heard it the first time, mostly because I had a laughing attack. Ok but in all seriousness...this is just bad music.

8.5 I like a lot of parts of this album especially opeth-like parts but i don't like vocals in strong voice parts but in down tempos he was good .
