METROPOLIS PART 2 - SCENES FROM A MEMORY

As I've read the reviews of this DT-album, it seems that some of the old progheads have missed some points here. If you start to listen how virtuously but boringly guitars are played or pay your attention on how the band has not the same kind of deepness that 70's bands used to have, you've probably missed something important. I am not a fan of progressive metal, and never will be, but still I have to admit that in terms of its own genre, the album is pretty good. The soundscape and feelings that progmetal bands create live in their own universe, not in 70's (if you like 'Gone With the Wind', don't watch 'Matrix', or at least don't compare them with the same criteria). If you like old heavy metal bands and I like to listen good old 3 chord riffs, this may be far too complicate for you, but I think that paying attention to difficultiness of DT is not a good starting point - they have some good somescapes and intriquing musical ideas.
