Dream Theater Systematic Chaos
A great return to from for Dream Theater. Systematic Chaos is their best work since 2000's Scences From a Memory. It needs to be said that John Petrucci is in awesome form. Some amazing, creative, heavy riffs with 'balls' as well as some great shedfests mixed in with some nice slower atmospheric soloing (see 'Repentance'). Mike Portnoy's drumming and James LaBries's vocals were both fantastic. Jordan Rudess has a lot less of a role in SC compared with 8VM, but I thought this was good as it didn't lead to any long wanky keyboards solos which can get annoying. Unfortunately though, John Myung is very much in the background again, which is a shame due to his incredible talents. The only downpoint is 'Prophets of War', due to it's bad lyrics (even for Dream Theater, but really, who listens to them for the lyrics) and the fact the synth is almost exactly the same as that of 'Take a Bow' by Muse. All in all this is a very solid album, and a great return to form after the somewhat lacking Octavarium. Easily one of the albums of the year so far.
