It's funny this thread appeared. The other day when I got to work half asleep, one of my co-workers who's a Dream Theater fan walked by and said "VANDENPLAS". I didn't know what the fuck he was saying, but then he's like, "have you heard of them?" A few seconds later after some blank staring, it finally dawned on me that he wasn't yelling at me in German, and was like, "oh yeah, Vanden Plas, yeah I listened to Christ 0 years ago, but it was pretty much background music, and I didn't think much of it".
The next day I gave the album a proper listen and while it certainly wasn't bad, it wasn't incredibaly gripping either. It might take a few more listens. We'll see. I remember when Christ 0 and 10,000 Days were the big craze when I first joined DT.net.
