Dream Theater - 'Black Clouds & Silver Linings'

[Svartmetall]

if you like DT but have been a bit 'meh' about the last few studio albums...my copy turned up today. This the best album they've done since '6 Degrees...'! I've gotten more of a buzz from just listening to this today than from any new DT stuff for a long time; it always takes a while to absorb everything that's going on on a DT album, but I can already tell this is going to be one of my most-listened-to studio CDs by them.



So, basically, if you were wavering...buy it, it's really good.

Hell yeah! The opening track even has a little blast beat in it! And a lot of the songs have some pretty fast double-bass. It's not Morbid Angel fruital, but it's still pretty damn heavy for them. I bought the 3-CD set--the disc of covers is great, especially Rainbow's "Stargazer." The third disc is an instrumental version of the main CD, so if you don't like James Labrie's voice, that is the disc for you!

I don't have the courage for the experience of listening a full Dream Theatre album. I admit it.

I'll have to check the album when I get to it.
