Harmony - Dreaming Awake (2003)

Why can't I like Christian bands more?
It's been a question I've asked myself for many, many years, and there is, admittedly, one consistent answer I've supplied, that being I simply don't like their music very often.
Harmony is one from Sweden, who has only put out two albums at the time of writing, this being the debut.  They lay their Christian cards on the table with the opening (after the intro) song "Eternity", which speaks of salvation through Christ, while the rest of the lyrics are a bit more vague, but the music just doesn't do much for me. The title song is the best one here, while "Maze Of The Past" has a nice instrumental passage, but too much of it just bores me. If we could put these lyrics to Stratovarius' music, we'd have something great, but as it is, Harmony just goes in the "meh" file for me, which is frustrating and a shame.
