The style of the band is a classic US power metal with deep roots in the 80s mixed with heavy metal tunes and progressive and thrashy elements.


That sounds like an awesome mix.

I don't know what to say. While I liked their first two albums, this one didn't impress me a lot.

Maybe it was in a listening queue with better albums, or maybe, conincidentally, I just didn't feel like it every time I listened to it, but this album just didn't seem to resonate the same the previous albums did.

It's a solid album every fan of the genre should have. But given a constant stream of good releases it's probably not gonna have you reach for that CD anytime soon.

Good disk. I liked the first two also and feel this one keeps up a high standard without really jumping way up.

Awful vocalist+boring songs=crappy album

Their first two records were very good and i liked them a lot, but this is really bad.Drama of the ages has lost that edge the previous albums had and that specific Jacob's dream atmosphere.

This is the only Jacob's Dream album I own and I was really disappointed when I picked it up recently. The songs were boring and production was demo quality (top notch? :shock: ). Not impressed.

Yeah the production does suck.If you haven't heard their first albums, i suggest you at least downloading them.They are way better than this crap.Nothing great, but still have their moments and some very good songs as well as some fillers.

On 3rd listen i can say that there is not one song that i like on Drama of the ages.This album is for serious fans only.And I hope they do something about that vocalist on their next record.

See that's why I was so disappointed because I'd heard a few really kick ass tunes by them, this album did absolutely nothing for me at all.
