"I think Dream Theater dropped the ball a little bit here. On first listen, I found the album to be satisfactory, but repeated listens just drag it down. It's too cheesy and overblown for my tastes, especially since Octavarium promised a more atmospheric and mature direction. Songs like The Dark E..."  [+]  Reply

"Once again, Paul Simon shows that he is almost peerless as an artist. As he ages, he has not stopped making music that challenges him and his audience. He continues to be creative rather than fall back on tried and true formulas to just keep busy or make money. Who else has put out albums in thei..."  [+]  Reply

"At a time when most indie musicians don't seem to bother to learn to play their instruments, UMO shows up as as breath of fresh air. Ruban Nielson is keeping the tradition of guitar music alive through his clever, innovative guitar work that gathers a vast array of influences and demonstrates his..."  [+]  Reply
