Title: WHAT HAPPENED ?
Review: As a relative newcomer to D.T. (having only heard SFAM and IMAGES AND WORDS), my expectations were high prior to purchasing this one. I have to say what A DISAPPOINTMENT !!! Where are the catchy hooks and good songs that filled "Images" .It sounds like they were just putting this out to satisfy a contract. These guys are great musicians (especially Portnoy and Petrucci),but this disc lacks good songs and good production. It just sounds like a typical 90's band trying to be heavy, but with no substance.In fact they never really got it back together until SFAM. Buy "Images" and "SFAM" , avoid everything else (except maybe "Six Degrees"). If you really want to hear these guys (most of them)play with substance and style get either of the "Liquid Tension Experiment" discs. Those are hands-down superior to this one.
