AWAKE

Most of this album sounds like the same Dream Theater song to me. All of the tracks blur together, and James LaBrie's voice risies to irritating levels at some point in almost every song. 'The Silent Man' strays ways from the formula and is pretty well done, but it is nothing spectacular. 'The Mirror' is a loud rocker that is better than average. There are some killer solos in there. 'Space Dye Vest' is another track that is different and this is probably my favourite track on the album, but it is no masterpiece.
