The profile is great.
Petrucci's guitar sound is fat on this album. I like it.
It's so sad that I can't say the same about the music.
When Portnoy left DT, I think, the band lost the last creative person. (The first one was for me Kevin Moore.)
I don't like none of the albums since Mike left the band. The chemistry is gone for good.
I was like, "Let's listen to the new album, maybe they will come up something finally". Nope. That music is so boring. No melodies. Nothing.
It feels to me they make music just because the have to.
In november 2017 I discovered Seventh Wonder. Their music filled the empty space for a progressive band which creates music with their hearts. Seriously, just listen to their album Mercy Falls. And Tommy Karevik is one hell of a perfect singer. Maybe I don't like the guitars so much. But the melodies and ideas are just pleasing me each time I hear them.
