Title: Cold, like a robot; lifeless yet so angry.
Review: Dream Theater has yet to top Awake. They have yet to top Images And Words. I got my CD in the mail a few days ago. I played it once, and put it away. I doubt I could even LEARN to like this album. I am a Dream Theater fan...they are the best, most precise musicians I have ever heard. To me they are a compilation of Rush, Queen and Kansas with a turbo attatched. Anybody who doesn't hear these bands in Dream Theater has never listened to these bands. Anyway, the music on this album is mechanical, angry and cold. Very repetitive. Munites and minutes of the same melody and riff, almost industrial, nauseating. If you are looking for Awake, go buy it, or pull it out and listen to it, you will be more satisfied. Did Kirk Hammet from Metalica sit it on this album? Or was it some other refugee from the 80's power metal era?
Is the review positive or negative?
