It's great - only I can't help thinking someone should tell the drummer Randall Williams
to change his snare sound; it's obtrusive and always the same. 'if I could only find the words to say...' yup, there goes that snare drum again - constant and pointless.
@TheGrooveMaster10 It's natural for a band to sound similar to their inspirations. Of course it's not completely unique, because this genre is a few decades old. If originality is the most important factor for you, listen to genres of music that are emerging for the first time. Or simply enjoy the fact that there are still artists keeping older genres alive for a younger generation.
@TheGrooveMaster10 "Older" is not synonymous with "better". Just because a band pioneered a sound, doesn't mean they do it better than anyone else. Glass Hammer is a newer band that perfected an older style.
Wow, what a nice song. It´s like Genesis meet Kansas. I was looking for new prog music and i found this,,, glad i did... Also the cover art looks kick ass xD

Same here. Their first album came out the year I was fuckin born! I just bought it yesterday. It took me a long time to find bands like this. I also reccomend (if you have't heard) Transatlantic, Marillion, Spock's Beard and The Flower Kings.
yeah I know them. Glass Hammer is quickly becoming my favorite band next to Rush and Pink Floyd but the only way I can buy their albums is on itunes! I wish InsideOut Records would re-release their discography with bonus tracks and put them in stores for the fans. Just getting audio tracks to put on your ipod is nothing like having the cd or cassete.
You may also want to check out Echolyn for music like this. Also, not to seem obvious or anything, but these guys obviously are big fans of early Genesis.
And lets not forget my personal fav's Gentle Giant.
@OdysseyIntoOblivion yes transatlantic is awesome bro! as for the other bands, some of em ive heard others i havent but i love transatlantic and im kinda starting to like this band too

If I keep hearing amazing music like this, the mainstream radio may become completely unbearable.
Oh wait, it already has. o.o
