4 stars Derek Sherinian was kicked out of Dream Theater? Their loss. This album to me is bettar than any Dream Theater release.

On this release, Sherinian plays with different guitarists throughout the album, all formidable shredders. Zakk Wylde gets a mention on the outer sleeve of the disk, and while is does a great job on his two tracks, he is outshined by the other three guitarists. Sherinian burns up the keyboards himself, playing with more emotion than you can usually hear squeezed out of synthesizers, easily blending in with the raging guitars.

My favorites here are the opening trilogy, Antarctica, Ascension, and Primal Eleven, where guitarist Brett Guarsed sounds like a heavy metal Allan Holdsworth, and the title track, Molecular Heinosity, a track worthy of its name.
