Mine would be Breaking All Illusions too. Mangini is a good drummer, but hell, I miss Portnoy's playing. Sometimes he could become a bit invasive, but I love is Peart-ish style :(

I would label A DRAMATIC TURN as AWAKES good looking cousin. ☺. Also what is your favourite track? Mine is BREAKING ALL ILLUSIONS. I love that I can hear JOHN MYUNG on bass again and he came up with another lyrical gem too!!



I agree. I was looking forward to hearing what a Dream Theater album without Portnoy pulling the strings would sound like. James actually sang like himself on ADToE. He wasn't trying to sound like James Hetfield or the guy from Muse or whoever else MP wanted him to sound like.

Breaking all Illusions always have me smiling during the whole intro. Brilliant track. I think I laughed out loud first time I heard it.

Yup yup. I miss his style, especially the way he drums on the Count. That to me was like Portnoy's last horrah. Combinations are nuts on that track. Very good.

Never like LaBrie copying Hetfield in that Dream-Theater-meets-Metallica song (also known as As I Am). I wish we were still in 1992...

How old are you with such a comment, I am thinking an apology would be appropriate.
