Mark Knopfler — Shangri-La | DeRank™: 0,00

..mmh...a bit of a disappointment, Mark is no longer the crazy guitarist he used to be, but in the end it's fair this way, it leaves a bit of a bitter aftertaste. He deserves "Postcards from Paraguay". rating: 6 - more

Dream Theater — Octavarium | DeRank™: 0,00

good record, mature and not overly refined. interesting developments, especially on "sacrified sons" and "panic attack." Dream Theater style with some melodic twists. rating: 8.5 out of 10 more

Dream Theater — Metropolis Part 2: scenes from a memory | DeRank™: 0,00

excellent work by Portnoy's band and company, very well-crafted concept and perfect from every point of view. 9 out of 10, it's a masterpiece but not close to my sensibility (subjective judgment) more

Porcupine Tree — Voyage 34 | DeRank™: 0,00

rating: 7 out of 10, an album you can listen to in the shower, while studying... great philosophical insights, not a perfect album nor a masterpiece, it's enjoyable to listen to. more

Dream Theater — Metropolis Part 2: Live scenes from New York | DeRank™: 0,00

Great live performance, you can see all the Dream Theater technique, flawless soundcheck... too bad about Portnoy's timing issues in "Home," where he's always singing at least half a second after LaBrie... moving "Spirit Carries On." Rating: 9 out of 10. more
