Cool, good insight. I guess I should check out the rest of their stuff. It'll be interesting to discover these guys backwards. What album should I start with?honestly kev, I was and still am a huge fan of everything up to and including Scenes From A Memory and consider everything up to and including Falling Into Infinity classic albums, but they have fallen off so bad that I cannot get through an album anymore. And it's not the music or style but just the songwriting and the lack of effort I hear. Sounds like old guys with an established fan base that will buy anything they put out; just renting an expensive studio for a couple months to jam, write and records songs, than it sounds like hungry musicians who really put a lot of effort into making something fresh and interesting artistically.
that's my take on the whole thing, and I honestly find the last several albums to be worthless garbage.

I have a hard time taking Kevin's post seriously.
