LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT 3

Two stars is the minimum I can give for this album. Calling it "poor" simply feels wrong considering how incredible the musicality is, so I'm going to say it's for their fans only (and for fans of technical wanking).

Heavily disappointed. Uninspired is the best way to describe it. There's nothing that interests me in this album rather than the musicianship which is honestly sad, since high musicianship doesn't always mean high quality by itself. They show off every single second of this album and not a single memory sticks with you after a full listen. Now, I agree that LTE has never been the best when it comes to soul in music, but at least they have some tracks with some value in them like Acid Rain or When The Water Breaks. There's simply nothing that stands out in this album.

If you're a LTE fan, I guess you could enjoy this album. But I think even the most hardcore Dream Theater fans would struggle at enjoying this one.
