A year after the second part was released, former Dream Theater frontman Charlie Dominici and his band return to close out their O3 musical trilogy.

Part 1 of the trilogy was acoustic, and O3 A Trilogy: Part 3, like Part 2, has a full band. The songs are progressive metal with complex arrangements and lengthy instrumental breaks, but also a lot of hooks. It's a bit darker and heavier than Part 2, and the songs are more memorable.


Dominici has a really good voice, and the storyline wraps up with a satsifying conclusion. O3 A Trilogy: Part 3 is the strongest CD of the three, and unlike movies, if you've missed the first two you can jump right in and enjoy some excellent progressive metal.
