DREAM THEATER "the astonishing" cd, 2016
a revisit...
their thirteenth but my first at the time...
loved this when it came out and immediately purchased it...
ended up buying a large number of their back catalogue after this and quickly came to the conclusion that this one wasnt as good as originally thought...
things have not changed, it is still a good album but not as consistent and tight as their previous efforts...
sounded like they were trying too hard to be too clever and proggy on this one in hindsight...
and although this album isnt as good as originally heard i cannot criticise it because without this one i would not have found some of their fantastic back catalogue.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
