Apparently, all that touring with Dream Theater really took it's toll on BtBaM's overall sound. They've gone balls to the wall Prog. Metal on us, and it's fantastic. Although, like DT, they've begun to show symptoms of what I've dubbed "Yes Syndrome." You know, like the band Yes? See Tales from Topographic Oceans and you'll know what I'm getting at. Basically, they've gotten too big for their britches and have become too progressive. Regardless, this is still a ridiculous outing. Everyone is in top form and you can really tell they put a lot of effort into this record. I'm giddy with excitement about seeing this performed live.
