THE ABSOLUTE UNIVERSE - FOREVERMORE (EXTENDED VERSION)

This is just a complete return to the grandeur, beauty and inventiveness of the first two albums that these guys released some 20 years ago! Just fantastic, and a really big (pleasant!) surprise for me. WOW!

The first disc is sort of one big 47 minute suite, with each song leading into the next. Great melodies, and the boys can still sing and play. Portnoy has always played his most tasteful drumming on the Transatlantic albums IMHO, and he continues that on this album. I particularly love the drums he lays down at the start of track 9 "The World We Used To Know". Perfect.

The second disc is...sort of one big 43 minute suite! I don't know, I haven't been this pleased and excited about a new album in many a day. Only listened to it once so far, but I'm giving it the golden buzzer :) 5 stars
