2 stars I used to enjoy DT music since "when day and dream unite", they were amazing for me excellent musicians, great songs, the best of progressive metal... but then, they released 6 degrees, the album was not too bad but was'nt my favorite, so i decided to wait a little more and hear my heroes' next release. so Train of thought came out, i bought my copy, and ran to my car to hear it, and guess what, can't believe my ears, so ejected the disc and verified it, and i was right the new album is MORE OF THE SAME, the same riffs, the same cuts, the same formula, so i throwed it out of my car. and now what, the money maker 'progressive' metal band comes again with a 'new' release and make me waste my money again, this album is once again 'MORE OF THE SAME', same formulas, same riffs, they are playing it safe, don't trying anything else, they're just trying to sell the same cookies with new pack, this is a real shame for this great musicians, they 're just surviving, making money for next vacations, they are dead as artists. they have nothing new to offer and their last 3 releases suck, this band for me is dead after Scenes from a memory (the best they're done). Rest in peace.

ps. the same story as Iron Maiden, they died since Seventh Son.

what a shame.
