Yo man!
I´ve been listening to this a lot. As always there´s goodies all over it but isn´t it obvious that the drums are way back in the mix? Of course the drummer isn´t producing anymore, it´s the guitar player. =) In my opinion the best drumsound they´ve had so far is way back on the “Awake” album.
One more thing. I heard Petrucci used Superior Drummer to demo the songs. How the hell do you program those parts? I wish I could do that. You guys on IG should demo that stuff. Or do you always have a drummer in your pocket? =)
