LIQUID TRIO EXPERIMENT: SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION

If you thought Liquid Tension Experiment could be indulgent, tedious, and boring at times, gaze upon this work of shelf-clearing. No finished songs, no compositions, and the only good music happens to come wafting form Rudess's keys once in a while when there's an inexplicable break in Portnoy's loud, obnoxious drumbeats. If you like Phish live shows with no humor, guitar, pot, singing, and a lot of empty space, you'll love this. Honestly, how many times can an album have a song that starts off with a drum beat for 4 measures, after which a bass line comes in accompaniment for 4 measures, then has a keyboard add melody? Oh sure, sometimes the bass starts first and then the drums enter, whoop-do-do. I'm not sure of the backstory of this album, but even suggesting someone pay over $8 for this is a crime, no matter who he is.

Highly recommen--wait, wrong review. Your probably should not get this ever.
