LIBERATION

If you haven't heard their debut, don't start here, but get that one first! If you like The great divide, you'll like this as well. I was a bit disappointed upon hearing this, though. Full of expectations after the brilliant debut, their second record is merely very good. The overall song-quality is definitely down a notch, and the sound has been subtly changed. Still, there are a couple of very good tracks on this record. Listen to The Lhasa road, A thousand years, When you're ready and The wolf. These guys are still great technicians though, and if you're a big Dream Theater fan, I don't think this will disappoint you.
