Haven't read the article yet but just looking at it I know they're only taking a small snippet of what's been said so here's the original.  Hope you all like greek (or can use Chrome's translate page function)

Original quote is - "The biggest difference in writing music to this album was that we decided to write this music choosing what is best for us without Mike Portnoy being the DREAM THEATER police telling us "yes" or "no." I think that it took us a little more time to craft our music before putting our stamp of approval on it."

Ohhhhhh, Jordan Rudess I don't half love you.

Wow, he's really being open. Would love to read the whole interview, but not some Google Translate version.

Tired of warning people about using proper thread/title formatting for posting interviews.
