Title: Not Progressive Rock - don't be fooled
Review: I have been exposed to Dream Theatre via Transatlantic and Keith Emerson's opinions on Jordan Rudess. Saw them back up ELP in 1998 (Forgetable). I am a long time Progressive rock fan, ELP, Yes, Genesis, KC, Marillion, you name it. This is not and I repeat NOT progressive rock. It is just Metal and nothing else. I was so disappointed when purchasing this album, so much so that this is the first review of any album I have ever bought (over 400). Anyone who calls this or anything by this band progressive should be shot. Metal is not progressive. I loved the work Portnoy did with Transatlantic and I am not denying the incredible musicianship of Dream Theatre, but this is metal and nothing but. A waste of money for any progressive rock fan. I rate this album 2 stars only because there are great musicians at work(?)here.
Is the review positive or negative?
