Yeah, the vocals on that first album are pretty terrible. Russell Allen elevated their appeal 1000x, IMO.
As for Prog vs. Power, I'm kind of on the fence. They certainly have strong roots in neo-classical Power Metal, but they do inject a certain degree of technical prowess into the arrangements at times. In spite of that, I can't quite place the Prog Metal tag on them exclusively...but they sure don't sound like Helloween...haha!
