Title: Follows a scary Dream Theater trend
Review: The trend of turning down the bass in DT (and now LTE) recordings has reached an annoying point for me. There is a point in 'Acid Rain' where John's guitar drops out and you are SUPPOSED to be able to hear Tony grooving on the Chapman Stick. Unfortunately, the Stick was turned down so low in the mix that you could hardly even HEAR it, much like John Myung's bass notes in a live setting. If a prog supergroup is created, I want to hear individual instruments, not instruments turned down to satisfy the egos of other members in the band (and before anyone flames me for this, consider how conspicuously absent were ANY of Jon Myung's songs from the last few DT albums).
Is the review positive or negative?
