TRAIN OF THOUGHT

Difficult to compare to other albums (esp. Scenes, my fave). They seem to have lost something along the way. Many parts are cheesy for all the wrong reasons (is that rapping I hear?), but there are still some wicked solos from Mr Petrucci. Honestly, I think DT do much better work than this without LaBrie (or should it be Le Brie [The Cheese]?) in Liquid Tension Experiment - that stuff is true progressive metal!! This is what I hoped Metallica would be sounding like about now - a thousand times better than the shite they have released over the past 12 years. La Brie can do a pretty good James Hetfield impression tooooooo - ah! This is Dream Theaterrrrr - ah!
