Query: All been done before, just a rip off.

When I first heard this record I couldn't believe how many past rock bands are being ripped off here. Dream Theatre and Symphony X spring to the forefront. In my mind the metal makeover medleys of these opera based compositions just don't work. The singing is aggravating to listen to and makes you want to cringe and it's obvious to any ardent guitar listener that this has all been done before. Okay, steal a little and make a song out of it if you can, but some of this is total rip off and there is a hell of lot better out there and I am going back ten years. Overall a load of crap really, unless of course you are so young, or nave that you just haven't heard very much music in your time to date.
