DREAM THEATER

Yes, Dream Theater needs a long rest! What I am hearing in this album is NOTHING new and creative! The only thing I can mention is John Petrucci's awesome guitar solos that somehow stand alone.

It's a long time Dream Theater releases an album every two years. I believe they lack good ideas- they are awesome musicians; and certainly they can come up with a good production- but this is not what I expect from them. Dream Theater needs to stop somewhere and start to look back to what they have accomplished. They need to relax and detain themselves from overworking.

Unfortunately, I feel I am listening to a total cliché when listening to the new album. It's sad that I have to listen to great John Petrucci solos among all these unrelated sections and sounds.

They can further elaborate their ideas. They can make more beautiful songs. They can bring more cohesion to their songs/albums.

Surely, there are a few good moments in the songs but overall I think they are trying very hard to remain Dream Theater while they cannot!

Well, while we are still at it: don't you think Dream Theater even lacked a phrase, word, title, or anything else for their new album thus calling it simply "Dream Theater"?!
