BLACK CLOUDS & SILVER LININGS

I didnt know john myung left the band what a shame , hes on the album cover but you cant here him anywhere on the album. To date this is some of the bands worst ,I am a big fan but it seems these guys have run out of ideas, shattered fortress sounds to similar to IRON MAIDENS face in the sand Petrucci plays the double bass drum part check it out. Best of times is a copy from yngwie malmsteens icarus dream suite opus 4 . The fact that they had to go back to copying their old material proves my point yes they have done this before but not to this extent. Hey when did cookie monster join the band oh sorry that's mike portnoy. Hey Mike if i want to here about AA I'll go to a meeting AA works best when your anonymous!!! Sorry for the random thoughts but I was very disappointed with this album I expect so much more from these guys givin how talented they are and how innovative they have been in the past. The high points are Petrucci's guitar work he is so gifted it amazes me but I still long for their earlier style when they played with convition
