I have this and I agree on the recommendation. Most of the music is by Fates Warning's Jim Matheos, and it sounds a lot like his recent Fates material. If you like OSI I'd highly recommend Fates' "A Pleasant Shade of Gray," which I actually prefer to OSI. Great heavy prog rock with lots of atmosphere.
Oh and if you're getting OSI, you might want to spring for the Limited Edition. It contains a bonus CD that includes a cover of Pink Floyd's "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun."
