Dream Theater is the greatest!! To come out with a release that is SO opposite of the direction of the last makes things so exciting and hopeful for the future. It's like, for any of the people who weren't on board with the approach of LALP, here's something you'll love. Doesn't mean every concert DVD from now on will be this way, but we do know we can expect things to be shaken up each and every time.
We went from loud guitar, touched up vocals, and fancy video shots, to a more raw live- sounding but equal mix, with plain and slow panned camera angles covering large portions of the stage.
Still not happy? Well (you're stupid, but..) I'm sure next time we'll have something different again with new music!
Edit: OMG and I didn't even mention the timing! This time we're given an actual release DATE as the first information rather than an estimation with the trailer months in advance. Aside from the fact that it was delayed last time, which was a bummer, anyone may like one approach more than the other. But I think it's pretty awesome that this was made and flipped around so fast, and that they chose to its give us a song, a release date, a title, and a pre-order just a month before its release!!!
