LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT

This sounds like a cross between DREAM THEATER, third gen KING CRIMSON, and something else I guess. What I am saying, is that it isn't really all that original, and does not impress me as much as DT or KC at their best. At first, when this album was hot off the shelf, I thought it was really awesome; but over time my tastes developed in such a way that this type of ego stroking soloing just lost its appeal; not that I don't like soloing, but composition is so much more important, and THESE GUYS WAY OVER DO IT!!!
