Title: SDRE = devoid of emotion and songwriting skills
Review: Bands move on, this is true, but the new SDRE album is prettyterrible. If you like progressive rock then you'll like this, butfor fans of music then The Rising Tide is a huge disappointment. Songs involve excessive vocal effects, dull drumming and their previous emotion through music has been foresaken for mainstream ideals and acceptance. "One" is the only highlight - if the other songs were like this then the record could have been a classic. Unfortunately, on the basis of the other songs, SDRE should have remained broken up after their second posthumous album. By all means buy the record, but be prepared to be very underwhelmed.
