Free Music Review: Why did they bother - oh yes, $$$$
Hit: 1 Stars
I'm sorry, but anybody who owns the two LTE CDs is going to be VERY unhappy with this CD. It's a very week rehash many of the ideas used on the LTE albums. What a waste of time. I really expected better of Tony Levin. Money is more important than the music here. Listen to this CD in the context of background noise, other than that just don't bother. These guys don't deserve your money for this lack of effort.Free Music Review: A Bit Disappointed

Well. I couldn't wait to get this CD after I heard the other LE works. This one however, falls short of the brilliant tracks you hear on their other CD's. It sounds like three people jamming and not knowing where they are going as if you have a new lineup. I couldn't even classify the style; Does not sound progressive or rocky or anything like that. I don't know if it's Portnoy's influence or input because this Cd sounds a bit like the latest OSI. The three stars are for the band members on the merit of their talent but not for this CD. Sorry guys, this experiment does not do it for progressive rockers.Free Music Review: This is an album?

This album is pretty much like the "Item Description", musicians playing around in the studio. This may be an album a hard core Portnoy fan may want who collects everything an artist puts out. There are some spots of good instrument playing here but no real coherency. The rhythm section catches a groove and about the time the keyboardist invents a melody the drums switches time and it all falls apart. The musicians are just playing around and jamming, this should not have been released as an album. There are spaces between tracks but these aren't songs. It is so obvious that during these tracks the musicians get lost from one another and are just flying by the seat of their pants. If they were going to release this they should have taken the found melodies and grooves off the tape and composed them into something tight and resembling a song, then put an album together. Since none of these musicians are dead or bankrupt I don't see why something like this would hit the street. This is a novelty at best. If you want to hear what musicians jamming in the studio sounds like when it is ready for public consumption get James Newton Howard & Friends on the Telarc label. Anyone who has ever been on the car audio competition circuits should recognize some tracks off that album.Free Music Review: wow - not even worth one star

This was a huge disappointment. I love dream theater and liquid tension but this cd sucks. Dont expect anything like liquid tension, theres nothing to this cd, just random BS. These guys may be good song writers but they cant jam what so ever. I could barely listen to it it was so bad. Couldn't even finish a song before i had to move on to the next hoping it to be better.. it wasnt. Didnt even finish the cd, terrible. Portnoy, i dont even know what the hell he was doing. Rudess was no where to be found for most of it (though when he did come in, it sounded mediocre) and somebody needs to show tony levi how to play the bass. i dont think he knows and he plays the same thing over and over again it actually became annoying. I was greatly disappointed with this album and hugely annoyed. They dont ever play anything! especially in unison. They never hold anything down. The best thing about this album is the cool picture on the front of it. I can honestly say that ill never willingly listen to it again. Dont know what they were tryin to do with this one. I wouldnt recommend it. Free Music Review: cool stuff

i can understand both sides of the argument of how people find this either good or bad. i came into this album understanding that it was really nothing but jamming. i cant say other than this cd that i have a strictly jam cd. obviously with dream theater, king crimson, and even liquid tension experiment, the songs are written and composed, meant to go together. this is just a trio of musicians having fun and i think it's pretty cool. a lot of the stuff they come up with is beyond any music i've ever listened to hence the word ''experiment'' in the name of this group. there are certainly some rough parts within this cd which is what turns me a little bit off about it. but, the parts that are actually held together really do astound me because, being a drummer myself, i can see so many parts portnoy holds together where i would fall off track showing that he is very experienced. if i were able to give it 3.5 stars though i probly would because that's what i truthfully think it deserves. because im such a DT freak i rounded them up a notch. pretty fun stuff, but if u cant handle purely jams with no real rudimentary idea behind it, then it isn't for u. if ur just down to listen to it for fun, then have fun listening to it when u purchase it!
