Loving this so far, easily the best since Scenes. Jordan's keys are so huge on this, something that has really been lacking in their sound as of late. James sounds great, all the melodies are sticking with me so far. Mangini does such a great job of fitting into the style that MP had. You really don't even notice that there is a new drummer. So far Lost Not Forgotten, Bridges in the Sky, Outcry, and Break all Illusions are stand outs for me. Chris www.gazpachoonline.com

I bought my CD/DVD version last Thursday. It sounds like a great album but I'm still getting used to it. It is a lot more traditional prog and I agree Jordan's keys sound terrific. MM's drumming is on the money, but not as busy as MP's. So Aussies, go forth and lead the world in ADTOE ownership! cheers

"Traditional" "Prog"(ressive). but -- I agree. it's everything DT was before Train (a great album... that didn't need to be rehashed several times). I guess MP is happy doing "Rock" while DT can now get back to admitting they have a keyboard player in the band :)

I partially agree, though there are parts throughout ADToE which Portnoy could not pull off, not even if his life depended on it... nothing against MP, because some of his signature parts are legendary, but still! I'm loving MM's dynamic approach... so tastefull!!! :D ...................................................................................................................................

As you rightly noted... they have a keyboard player! cheers
