OUT THERE (DVD)

I was given this album by my uncle as a a gift for no occassion. He saw it at Half-Price Books and thought I'd enjoy it like I have always enjoyed Rick Wakeman. Well, I was a bit dissapointed. The album Out There seemed reminiscent of Yes, Dream Theater, and other Rick Wakeman albums. And as I have mixed emotions of this album, it sounds mostly of Dream Theater (which I am not a fan of). There are several jaw-dropping keyboard solos, all of which I enjoyed, and the bass (Lee Pomeroy) was absolutely amazing. The drummer (Tony Fernandez) , as Rick Wakeman said on the bonus feature, sounds similar to Alan White, but in contrast, he is too electric in his sound. Not to dissapoint metal guitar fans, but the guitarist (Ant Glynne) sounded like a drunk John Patrucci, and two wrongs don't make a right (if you catch my drift). Damien Wilson sounded like a dying cat to make it short and simple. I don't want to take the time to listen to each track over again so I could criticize each song, but I'll say this, Find someone else to get it for you, listen to it, then understand that you want it or not. -Prog Kid
