MOONBABIES

when Derek Sherinian formed Planet X, he said that his goal was to form the "sickest instrumental band on the planet." after hearing this album, i think he's achieved that goal. this album is just insane. it may be confusing to people used to boring time signatures like 4/4. somehow, they manage to use ridiculous time signatures like 17/16 and 13/16. Virgil Donati is the greatest drummer of all time, and the only one who could use those time signatures flawlessly. Tony Macalpine is also amazing. although i did not like Derek Sherinian while he was in Dream Theater, i think that he has found a perfect fit with Planet X.
