"For me, this is Dream Theater’s most underrated album. In my eyes, it doesn’t carry the title “Dream Theater” by accident. This record is a masterpiece and a statement: this is who we are — Dream Theater! It’s incredibly elaborate in both composition and production — with orchestral and classical..."  [+]  Reply

"It's not the Misfits we all love, but come on, Scream, Fiend Club, Dust to Dust, Saturday Night and Helena are all great tunes! Just put aside the fact that Jerry is a complete douche, and you'll see it's worth a listen. "If I cut off your arms and cut off your legs, would you still love me anywa..."  [+]  Reply

"THE TROUBLE WITH DESIRE Somewhere else in the universe - exactly where I do not know - there is a planet and civilization not unlike our own. They’re busy with jobs and making ends meet mostly. But they are also vastly curious about life and various philosophical questions. Chiefly, they ponder w..."  [+]  Reply

"Lyle Lovett makes another record of his trademark mix of jazzy western swing, coffee house ballads, and clever lyrics. Not quite as good as the previous outing but highly enjoyable. Recommended especially for those looking for something that sounds original."  Reply
