Negative Positive
Title: Same problem
Review: After all these years, DT lacks what they've always lacked; (and is what is at the heart of prog music) and that's a sense of counterpoint and harmonic development. It's all chord changes with banal melodies and fast licks. Oh sure, the chops are there. Astounding. But there's no statement. The classic bands (Yes, ELP, Gentle GIant, et al) had chops too (though not to the speed of DT) but they had something more ...SONGS. The intricacies where within the composition. This stuff sonds like one dimensional jams with fancy riffs thrown in along the way. It's barely above DraginForce -- who are a joke, but they too have blistering speed. DT never developed into what I hoped they would. They just do what they've always done, only faster.
