Post Description

Ok- a bit of an odd album here that seems rather promising from the start. You have amazing musicians who have proved their musicianship over and over lined up for yet another live show. But one thing goes wrong, in the opening song, (and you can really tell) Jordan's keyboard goes 'kerplunk' and stops working. With a few jokes from Portnoy they decide to continue, much to the delight of the audience, I'm sure. 
Most, if not all of the album becomes a jam session of simple and also complex experimentation, much of what we have heard before through the liquid tension experiment.
