JP 100%
He has easily been a pillar of strength for this band...and a pillar that has continued to rise...shine...evolve..get better..pick your metaphore.
the musical robot machine and his beeps, boops, and uncertainty about what he'll do..and how he'll fit it into DT's music has been their most inconsistent..and historically the position is one fraught with inconsistency. Myung comes and goes for me. I hear him on one album and the next he's disappeared and barely relevant. I wouldn't say Mike has gone downhill, I think he's just taken over the band as a musical/media manager that his drumming pretty much hasn't flourished.
