Well, somehow it's made to the #97 best album of 2010. That was fast! LOL

I listened to the whole thing today.

I don't know what it has to do with Mike Portnoy or drumming especially, but it is loaded with progressive music (some of it really good actually), and has piqued my interest in Relocator and a few other bands.  I would say it definitely belongs on this website- perhaps in Various Artists: Samplers rather than Tributes.

Best not look too closely at the ratings or we'll wake up the conspiracy theorists Wink

Cool! Big smile

Quote I would say it definitely belongs on this website- perhaps in Various Artists: Samplers rather than Tributes.

That sounds like a very good alternative placement to me. One might definitely call it a "themed sampler" if you're not comfortable with it in the "tribute album" category!

That's not quite the reason for my amazement.

Also, I'll download this fat album now. So much drama about it made me curious.

EDIT: Wow, really good. And 100% fitting and appropriate tribute. The album sounds almost as if it was made by DT. Keep it in VA: Tributes, because the music sure is a tribute to Dream Theater and its founding drummer.

I am really struggling with this being a 100% tribute to Portnoy...I listened to the whole album yesterday and a few tracks are good...a lot I just don't see the connection on most songs.
Seems like they may have had a good idea but it got lost along the way and turned into this huge album.
