Title: Little Too Depressing
Product review: Thank God for MP3 downloads. I don't think this will be 1 CD I would buy. What's happening with DT is they're pumping too many albums out. So many in that they really don't spend enough time to thoroughly write the songs.Mike Portnoy could of done a lot better in his precussion playing. Just seems like the whole album was based on typical 'Jam Sessions' rather than writing the songs out on paper before playing a note.... The result is a song that simply sounds too generic with little time changes (how can you orchestrate a time change when you jam?)James LaBrie should really stop singing like Radiohead. Since when Radiohead was considered progressive rock? A very depressing sound. For the other songs that aren't so Radiohead like, his vocal singing sounds much more like mainstream radio music.The only decent melody I could get out of the album is Jordan Rudess's keyboard playing (half way into the Octavarium song).
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
