I'm not sure why this song is getting as much flack as it is because it happens to sound like Jaws of Life. The only parts that really do are the main riff and maybe a little bit of the main melody, but everything else is unique and totally Marco. Marco is also quite obviously influenced by Petrucci, and some of that influence should be expected to come out naturally.
Marco Sfogli restarted to play the guitar after he listened images and words, I think that petrucci is like his God.. So this could be just like a tribute..
Hahaha ma è uno scherzo??? Posso comprendere le influenze dettate da qualche strano processo cognitivo che inconsciamente ci porta a comporre canzoni simili ad altri artisti ma questo è praticamente plagio!!
I got the album and the first minute I heard from this song, all I could think was Jaws of life / Tunnel Vision. Then I ran to youtube to checkout if I was the only one who saw that, or this is common opinion. Guess I'm not crazy, after all...
@gasfervis Just noticed the great similarity. It is not a copy, but it's strongly influenced by Petrucci. Anyway, Sfogli has done a GREAT job in LaBrie's albums and on his own. Respect and greetings from Colombia.
@gasfervis To all who say this is a petrucci ripoff: The intros to there's hope and Jaws of life are so similar because both of them use the phrygian dominant scale in the beginning. marco actually wrote this song before suspended animation came out... the songs develop in different ways, and thats all that really matters. similar musical ideas tend to occur between players of similar musical values.
Marco's Petrucci's bastard child.

@froggie9219 Petrucci wrote Jaws Of Life over 10 years ago.. I love Marco's playing. Theres no denying the influence.
