METROPOLIS PART 2 - SCENES FROM A MEMORY

This CD has some good spots for sure. The musicianship is top notch as usual for DT, but it is far far far from original, even to the band itself. The melodies are retreads, the solos have been done before BY THEM. The lyrics are sophomoric at best and stupid at worst. This album isn't as bad as the majority of FII but it still isn't as good as Images and Words and that really is only a 4 star CD.

This is progmetal at both its best and worst. It is worth listening to, but don't expect to hear anything you havn't heard before a million times.
