actual video clip this time
I hope the new album is good, but I'm not keeping very high hopes. I didn't like this song though. It sounds like DT lost that original "progressive" Metal touch on it's recent albums. IMAGES and WORDS album still remains my favorite. Even Metropolis pt2, Black clouds and silver Linings are pretty damn good.
Black Clouds And Silver Linings can be considered an exception as it did away with some of the flab that made their past releases so sleep-inducing by bringing a bit of their Images & Words/Awake songwriting to the forefront, but still.
But I do like their self-titled 2013 album though, ""Dream Theater"". Technically it was great. It ticked all of the boxes. We can also hear some good riffs as well. This album has the heaviness of Train of Thought, an album that got many people I know personally into Dream Theater. However, having being a huge fan of DT for all of my life this album lacks the sparkle from previous albums. It hasn't got a character. The album was a mediocre and plain , but not that bad as their other albums.
