Title: A little disappointed
Product review: Okay firstly, I love dream theater, secondly, I've been anticipating new stuff from them. However, that being said, I was let down by this album.Mainly because I felt a couple of them weren't carrying their weight. Me personally Labrie is a little much at times, but he definately sounds a lot better (as he should) on here then some lackluster live performances. I just felt that Petrucci didn't have enough solo'ing and that Portnoy wasn't ripping off his best fills. It felt like a less 'proggish' album until you of course listen to the final track, "Octavarium."It's still head over heels better than anything out there you'll see on the pop charts, but it could've definately been atmospheric in quality if they wanted it to be.
