Dream Theater may or may not be to your liking. But when it comes to a solo album that's seriously on point and balanced like Suspended Animation, there's no debate.

Personification of a genre that has always made musical ignorance its reference point. It's not enough to scream demonic hymns covered in studs, playing sequences of chords at a more primitive level than Battisti but with distortion cranked up, on a beat of 300 bpm, putting on makeup and making faces that wouldn't even scare my niece, to create music. And I've never been able to explain their success to myself.

Dream Theater

How can one compare the deliberately raw and gritty sound of Kyuss with the intentionally polished, if you will hyper-produced, and technical style of Dream Theater? Beyond personal taste, we are dealing with two diametrically opposed worlds. It's like comparing a Bach fugue to a Bruckner symphony. However, both are technically impeccable. And to the detractors who see them as soulless and uninspired, I recommend listening to Hollow Years, The Spirit Carries On, Another Day, and Through Her Eyes.
