Title: Another Dream Theater spin-off
Product review: What comes to mind if you hear the names Mike Portnoy, John Petrucci, and Jordan Rudess? Right - Dream Theater! This highly creative DT subset, augmented by no less a person than Tony Levin on bass, has produced a highly impressive ProgRock album in relatively short time. Much of the material was contributed by keyboarder Jordan Rudess, who replaced Derek Sherinian on DT's latest "Metropolis Pt.2: Scenes From A Memory". Unfortunately, this record also contains a great deal of improvised music, which sounds like filler material at times, and is probably due to the short time these guys could spend together in the studio. That's why I can give them four stars only.
