ADTOE Review CD/DVD

I've heard a few times the new DT ADTOE and...


I want to listen since the first song for not losing the album concept, then
I started with the great On the Back of Angels,


Build me Up, Break me Down reminds some song from James Labrie - Elements of Persuation, mainly for the electronic part,

Lost not Forgotten starts with a remarkable piano solo, then the guys start shredding everything, James Labrie' voice is really interesting in this song,

This is the Life is one of the few that hook u, great song, but the vibe is sad,

Bridges in the Sky starts with a burp, i guess it is, then it comes with a Petrucci's killer riff that, if DT had someone doing growling vocals it would be fucking awesome! it reminds  The Shattered Fortress,



till Break all Illusions, it's hard to say some song that excited me, I think Bridges in the Sky, perhaps for the Riff, so far the best one, I miss some heavy pieces in this album and it was How I thought, the songs are more melodic, I don't know if it's a criticism or it's a compliment, for many it could be the right way.


Beneath the Surface reminds some thing kinda Lazarus from PT, beautiful song



..after I've listened to the entire album, I think On The Back of Angels is the best one.

DVD The Spirit Carries On Documentary: as everyone I was thinking that in this DVD we would have more Bonus footage, deleted scenes, material that They didn't upload to You Tube... but another disappointment, the video is the same! sincerely for who has spoken that this released would be glorious.. OMG, it has to be noted that They put a lot of effort on that, thanks guys! but ADTOE don't beat some other releases of this year.



After all dramatic events, this is the DT answer for all fans around the world, for many it would be enough for other it won't be.





I am DT fan , but this album is not what I was expecting, but suddenly, who knows.. I could change my mind,

it seems, for this album, the guys are still sad for everything that happened: the departure after 25 years, Fuck crap no!


To be noted: one week before ADTOE comes out, this is the first DT release that you can find FLAC files with the scans to download, and that seems it's gonna be my first DT album that I won't buy :-(
