LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT 2

I like this album better than the first one. I think individually the songs here are better than the ones in LTE 1 in many ways. This are songs that I never get tired of listening to, and as I said on my LTE1 review, Even though there are people who blindly adore this album and that makes sick a lot of people, we can't deny that this is good, creative, innovative music, and specially keeping in mind the fact that this was created in very short time. My highlights are BIAXIDENT (great intro and ending!), the fast paced 'acid rain' that features a nice work by ruddess and some fast solos by petrucci (not in excess, though, coz he sometimes makes me sick with so much speed), and most of all WHEN THE WATER BREAKS, another riff-driven 16 minute song that blows me away when I listen to it. IMO no prog collection can be 100% complete without some good prog metal in it.. and this would definitely be my choice!! peace out everyone! :D
