Dream Theatre: A New Beginning,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dramatic Turn of Events [Special Edition] [CD + DVD] (Audio CD)
Whenever a band announces a change in the line-up, fans do one of two things; furrow their brows and declare the group off limits or become very understanding and realize that as time moves on, so do people's priorities. With the changes in the current Dream Theatre line-up, most fans should be quite accepting and after just one listening of this album, they should be VERY happy. Drummers are too easily dismissed as legitimate muscians and for all the credit due to Mike P. over the years, you just can't help but say "the new guy is pretty good".The chops from the band are still mesmerizing...long, extended musical journeys with lyrics that are both mystical and earthy...they are from the heart. The melodies and signiture time changes only enhance each piece and at the end there is complete satisfaction. A fine blend of rock solid Prog-Metal and moments of quiet introspection. A well made, well conceived album that delivers satisfaction over the whole album. The DVD is a nice addition as fans can join the band in their search for the new family member. Yeah, some of it is contrived and feels like one of those popular television searches for talent but the insights provided make it a worthwhile 60 minutes of your life. This is a band who sees that the future can't be predicted but you sure can adapt to it.

The Dream Continues!,
This review is from: Dramatic Turn of Events [Special Edition] [CD + DVD] (Audio CD)
Prog fans everywhere asked the same question; Can Dream Theater continue without the mighty Mike Portnoy? The answer is a resounding, Hell Yeah! DT's latest offering sees the band review what is important to Dream Theater fans, a smathering of styles and textures showcasing four extraordinary musically ambidextrous individuals. Song writing remains strong with the added bonus of an improved mix that leaves room to hear all the members feats of insanity. Chapter two has officially begun for Dream Theater and fans around the world are in for a treat!

Its not the new guys fault,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dramatic Turn of Events [Special Edition] [CD + DVD] (Audio CD)
DT is DT. Prog music for prog fans and that did not change with Portnoy's departure nor does it get any better. At least for now. Still over-extended on many levels the DT machine churn out a more rock oriented affair and one that has less of the harsh elements that were maybe present on Train of Thought or Systematic Chaos. This band is always hard to review. You are either get it or you don't. And if you don't well then no explanation, praise or begging will probably change your mind. For those in the know, this is still top flight stuff. I found it not as instantly catchy as some other releases though. But I like a grower and keep finding reasons to go back. Which is really the point in the end. Songs Mike Portnoy wished he drummed on: Bridges in the Sky, Build Me Up, Break Me Down, and Outcry which features some ridiculous in-sync playing from Petrucci, Rudess and Myung.
