The new album is alright/poor,
I don't think it's even close to as good as Awake, but this album is at least better then Six Degrees of Utter Crapulence.
The music is heavy, but seriously, Petrucci and Portnoy need to stop trying to produce the album themselves and bring in someone who knows what they are doing...
What pisses me off the most is them masking Labrie's voice in all those FX, and then writing those vocal melodies over the weird time signature stuff, it just doesn't work.
And once again Kevin Shirley mixes DT like shit... I wish that Petrucci and Portnoy would get off Shirley's nuts, I mean so what if he mixed Rush, that was like 20 years ago.
Eh, After Six Degrees and Train of Thought I am starting to lose my faith in Dream Theater, it's ok though, I have advanced so much musically because of them already, I can let go.
SFAM ROCKS MY FACE!!!
Edit to add:
When is the Petrucci solo album coming out? I saw him on G3 like two years ago and his solo stuff was awesome
