Title: bland boring blah
Review: I've been a fan since '89 when nobody knew they existed and it pains me to say that TOT is just short of an absolute flop. I wanted to like it and listened several times hoping it would get better but it never happened. This album has no life, no soul, no nothing, never goes anywhere. Unbelievably Petrucci's solos are also boring. Shredding for the sake of shredding. The first 4 tracks drag on and on and on for a minimum of 10 minutes each, totally formulaic and going through the motions.Falling Into and Six Degrees were mediocre overall but had flashes of brilliance which warranted extended listening. Not the case here as TOT will gather dust in my CD rack.
Is the review positive or negative?
