Yep. It's perfectly fine, OK CD. But quality and overall sound is nothing like the classic years.

Thanks, that makes sense. The album sounds good and has decent songwriting but the songwriting just doesn't sound like Styx to me. Now I know why - it isn't. It's a solid CD, don't get me wrong,...
That's not saying much. Although if you ignore the juvenile lyrics of the last one, I'm not sure that I like this one better tbh.
I'm going to have to listen more but I haven't found a whole lot of really good tracks to be honest. Admittedly I'm a "no Dennis, no Styx" guy but Tommy has had some phenomenal tracks over the years...
FWIW they appear to have added a second encore for the rest of the U.S. tour. Last night they played As I Am, The Spirit Carries On and Pull Me Under.
Not the most imaginative choices but a...
It's weird, the first leg didn't sell great. I was assuming they would quietly put it to rest and move on. Instead, they've doubled down, extended the tour, and seem to be playing smaller places. ...
This tour is The Astonishing, start to finish, nothing else.
Spiral is now caught up :D
I don't know about who's right and who's wrong in the Yes camp, I do know this is my favorite "Yes" CD since ABWH and maybe before. I don't care what has the Yes name slapped on it, this is really...
Very sad. I love Hour of Restoration, Impending Ascension and Hundred Year Flood. Some of the non Magellan stuff was good too. Unfortunately for me, I find most of the other Magellan stuff to be...

This one may be my favorite, it's not "different" but it's...
I am really curious what people here will think of this. It is absolutely not "the same old DT", I would have laughed at you a year ago if you told me the next DT would have occasional bagpipes,...
I think the drumming is appropriate as opposed to disinterested. This isn't a "look what we can do" DT album. It's based on keyboards, orchestration & melodic vocal lines. The rest, even Petrucci...
They're mostly shorter tracks. It's very different for DT. But very good. Some repeated themes throughout. You have to be patient, it's a lot to take in with 2 Hours, 10 Minutes and a different...
This is said to be very generic DT compared to the rest of the CD. Regarding the quality, it's a recording off Trunk's radio show on youtube. So it is what it is. The real quality is said to be...

Huge review at the link. The synopsis :
This is the most fresh and interesting Dream Theater album in many many years....
That wouldn't bother me, especially as it's advertised as such. It's not like it will be a surprise. Now, it it were the case and I also had never heard the CD then I would definitely not like it. ...
This is where it's REALLY anticipated :

Record # tracks for DT is 13 on the double CD (6 Degrees). This is very . . ....
I hate to overstate things but for me this CD is better than anything since the re-union. In fact, by an order of magnitude. The songs are just better. Heck, even without "Empire of the Clouds" it...
Absolutely terrific. And, indeed, progressive. How can it not be when three tracks combine for 42 minutes ? There's only one mediocre track for me (ironically, it's one that many seem to love,...
Love these first two (Impending Ascension more) and also Hundred Year Flood. The rest I can give or take, mostly give unfortunately.
Thanks, I feel stupid. Inglewood 1974 has 3/4 of TFTO, worth feeling stupid for ;)
There's no way to save any of these Big O files ? I can play them but would love to download them to itunes. I'm guessing they're on Dime but I've never had an account and it's closed right now.
Where is the "Big O site" ?
As for Progeny II, I wish they had something like that for the Tales tour. Nothing against Progeny but so much of it has been on many Live releases.
I've tried a few Hogarth CDs and they bore me to tears. I adore the first three Fish CDs, I'm just OK with Clutching which I know isn't a popular opinion. But it is what it is.
Well I keep trying. Problem is there's nothing I really like. Lots of average, a little good. Very good to great ? Nothing for me. Bland, uninspired, some moments it could be Marillion, some...
I really like "The Closer I Get to You". I mean I REALLY like it. I also like "Till We Meet Again" as a closer as it's a different type of closer than they usually have. The rest is kind of "just...
It is a "shitty cell phone video", it's the performance that's excellent not the video quality.
This video shows how awesome they're sounding right now :

Not trying to spam this place with ETX - but as The Edge is my favorite Prog Metal CD of all time - Keith has taken the 15 year old live recordings of the follow up to The Edge, mixed and mastered...
I know some of you remember The Edge by Eternity X from way back in 1997. It's still my favorite CD of all time. Fans will remember that was the last released CD by Eternity X.
The band isn't...
I love (I mean LOVE) Hour of Restoration and Impending Ascension. Test of Wills was a massive disappointment to me but I still liked a good bit of it. Solid rebound with Hundred Year Flood, that's...
Very sad - I think I'll listed to that CD, "Hundred Year Flood" today although it was for a different brother.
Magellan seemed to burn out very quickly, the first two and HYF are the only ones I...
Images and Words - Still has to be my favorite
Awake - Something about the heaviness and attitude I love
A Dramatic Turn Of Events - Awesome return to form
Octavarium - Love the title trade, the...
