Editorial Reviews
Amazon.co.uk Review
Over-wrought, self-indulgent, bombastic--hurl every clichéd prog-rock epithet you can think of--this group will suck 'em in and spit 'em right back in a deafening flurry of notes plucked, struck, hammered, and slapped. Without question, these guys (Dream Theater's drummer and guitarist Mike Portnoy and John Petrucci respectively, keyboardist Jordan Rudess, and bassist Tony Levin) are masters. And they make no apologies for having recorded an album of intensely virtuosic instrumental hard rock. Armed with chops, taste, and panache, LTE groove seamlessly from the lightning-fingered metal-fest "Paradigm Shift" to the comical drum & bass duet "Chris and Kevin's Excellent Adventure"; from the full-throttle jamming on "Universal Mind" to the house-crushing mayhem of "Three Minute Warning". Throughout, the staggering speed and technique of both Portnoy and Petrucci consistently grab centre stage. It's a riveting work from start to finish and a scorching testament to the power of musical inspiration and collaboration. --Michael Mikesell
Customer Reviews
only one let down
This album is really really great, the first half is amazing, paradigm shift is the perfect opening, and seems to be a 'try and learn this' challenge he he.
the only let down on this album for me is the last track, 3 minute warning, to me its just too long and gets pretty tame and dull and dare i say it boring in some places.
the album as a whole however is amazing, highly recommended and if you like this you'll probably like LTE 2 just as much if not more
Close but no cigar
This is quite awesome and Tony Levin is a charismatic and flexible bassist. However I can't quite tell the point as Portnoy (Drums) and Petrucci (Guitar) could make this type of music within Dream Theater (with John Myung)on Bass. Having said that, it does sound good and it did allow for Jordan Rudess to join the ranks of Dream Theater (making him their 3rd Keboardist), and he is undoubtably the best they've had on the ivories!! This is good but I would still recomend Scenes From A Memory any day.
Super-prententious cliche -full prog!
It's prententious
It's full of cheezy prog rock cliches
It's arrogant
It's virtuosic
It's damn brilliant and hillarious at the same time!
The last track(s) are just a 20min+ jam, but its so big-headed it's funny. Get this album if you like listening to pretentious instrumental prog stuff and laughing at how egotistical it is... in other words if you're a musician (I guess).
