Lyrically its their best effort for a while with both LaBrie & Myung contributing. The guitar playing from Petrucci is well executed throughout. His solos seem to be more thought out and reserved in some places and the chord progressions really compliment his playing. It was good to hear Myung's bass playing wander a little from following the guitar, also he cuts through the mix nicely. As for Mangini, I'm not going to bother mentioning much since creatively he had nothing to do with this album except perform drums that Petrucci had already programmed & written prior to the addition of Mangini but I'm sure on the next album he'll be free to express his creative side. All in all this album is one of my favorites,if I was to pick at least one con it'd be the way the album ended, I wasn't a fan of ending brilliance on a bit of a downer lol
