'Black Clouds & Silver Linings' - Dream Theater (8/10) Posted Wednesday, J| Review this album | Report (Review #222914) Spectacular lines were out front in the original recording, and Myung's should not be hidden Superb job on it, but I wish they hadn't mixed John Myung's bass so far down. "Odyssey", by The Dixie Dregs, is one of my all-time favorite songs, and DT does a Listed here in PA as singles, plus "To Tame A Land" originally by Iron Maiden is a nice Instrumental disk is nice, but I actually prefer the versions with vocals. I purchased the "limited edition" version, with the instrumental disk, and the covers disk. And having them say things like "Strength and dignity" almost makes it sound like DT isĪnd while I'm not yet certain if "The Count Of Tuscany" is the best song Dream theater has ever ![]() Low pitched, are not the throw up in the back of your throat type that ruins quite a bit of modern There are some almost death metal like vocals on some of the songs, but even these, while LaBrie's vocals seem to stay away from the irritating upper ranges. Even the somewhat maudlin "the Best Of Times" has it's good parts. Heard all of them, but I have heard quite a few).

Some string sections give this a goodĮffect, but nothing is too different, just composed well I guess. That started to build up in numbers after Scenes. The Count of Tuscany is also a song to take note of, one of Dream Theater's better epics, The AA suite is wrapped up here in a good fashion, taking the best of the previous songsĪnd throwing some original material in between was probably the only correct way ofĬlosing it, and it does get the job done. Some vocals provided by Mike Portnoy are anĪbsolute blunder and his worst yet, and that does in fact mean a lot. Nightmare to Remember' has some standard metal riffs and a breakdown that brings back Off pretty well, or making it deceiving depending on how you look at it. The first song is good, and Dream Theater seems to have a knack of starting their albums Don't beĮxpecting a softer album as this one remains marginally heavy, with some twists that were This one turns out be quite decent and my favorite since Train of Thought.
