If Kevin Moore comes back and they get rid of James LaBrie I will give them a listen.

I&W was good, Awake was amazing. Everything I have heard after that has been extremely boring. Just prog noodling nonsense with bad vocals.

ICS Vortex and Opeth both disappoint me (mild disappointments but disappointments nonetheless)while Dream Theater and Anthrax release some of the best material of their career.

You are a strange one, 2011. A strange one indeed.

Best album since SFAM, easily.

Mike Portnoy had been strangling Dream Theater-the last straw for me being when he tried to do death metal vocals on “A Nightmare to Remember” instead of just getting someone who could actually DO that. I was sick to death of my favorite band sounding like Muse, sick to death of Portnoy’s near endless AA suite and songs about whatever condition he thinks he had. Dream Theater needed Portnoy to leave, because with him, they would have never made this album. It’s purely a joy to listen to, from start to finish. Dream Theater isn’t sounding like Muse, or Opeth, or Metallica, or whatever band was just in Portnoy’s CD player-they sound like fucking Dream Theater. And that’s the most important thing about this album.

lol there’s no Pink Floyd worship on the album, I mentioned Gilmour solely for his guitar tone and playing.

I gotta say as a huge DT fan I was not even interested in this one after all the drama between these guys, sadly it really just made me sick. Then I saw the video for the “Angels” song and it really did remind me of their earlier stuff. Now this review has me curious. (except for the David Gilmour reference- Pink Floyd sucks….HARD. The less time DT spends trying to ape them, the better off they are).

Spot-on review. This was an amazing surprise, the best thing they’ve done since Scenes from a Memory.
