Jordan Rudess Says Liquid Tension Experiment Reunion Will Happen 'At Some Point'

[emtee]

If they were to change things up and bring in a vocalist I'll
buy it. Otherwise not interested. I would be happy to see them
playing together though.

Not a fan of either instrumental albums or jam-based music, so I have zero interest in this. Not even sure why I clicked on this thread.

I remember kind of liking the first one. I haven't listened to it in well over 10 years. I've never heard the second one...I think. Every now and then I think about checking them out again but I never do.

I ended up getting LTE2 first, and didn't get the first one until years later.  I like 2 better, but acknowledge that that maybe a factor of having that one a lot longer and getting more familiar with it.  But both are pretty good.  I wouldn't say there is a drastic difference between the two, and however you feel about one is a pretty good predictor of how you will feel about the other.

Well, I like the first one a lot and couldn't get into the second one. Number one is more varied imo.

I like 2 better than 1, but both are great.  I was at the show in Downey CA in 2008 and it was one of the best live music experiences of my life.  Plus, I got to meet JP and JR because we were all staying at the same hotel next to the venue. 

Would love another LTE album and live reunion.

Am I the only one that isn't over the moon waiting for this?  I'll listen to it, as I like the other two, but my world is complete without this.  There are other things I'd like to see those particular musicians set their time to.

I know I'm in the minority, but...this news doesn't really excite me.  Yeah, I thought both LTE albums were good.  There isn't a single song that I can say I disliked.  But they also aren't something I gravitate toward and want to listen to very often either.  I love a solid instrumental or two every now and then.  But entire albums of instrumental music generally don't get a lot of listens from me.  So if they do this, cool.  That's great for the many, many fans that would love another album.  For me, I would buy it.  I would listen to it.  And, knowing the track record of the guys involved, I would likely enjoy most or all of it.  But after listening for the first couple of months, I might take it off the shelf once a year.
