Train of Thoughts A place where I can...

Since this summer was really busy time flied by w/out noticing it, I haven't really had a chance to sit down and listening to music. I know many good CDs came out this summer, unluckly i couldn't get to listen to many of them.
I purchased only four CDs this summer.

1. King's Fools - Sound the Alarm
2. Jason Upton - Beautiful People
3. Psalm Drummers
4. Dream Theater - Systemetic Chaos

short reviews- very short reviews haha

1. King's Fools - Sound the Alarm
Love the songs, love the lyrics, surprisingly good quality of recording-, but here and there, i can see improvements!
2. Jason Upton - Beautiful People
I absolutely love it! Especially track #3 and #5. Such a powerfull CD
3. Psalm Drummers
Another powerfull CD. Some people told me it sounds like tribal music, oh well i guess many drum parts w/ many different drummers play same time can be sound like that.
4. Dream Theater -Systemetic Chaso
Honestly I really haven't listen to it yet other than in the car just listening. .you know??
I can't really comment at all

Once I get some time, hopefully i'll write some better reviews.. haha

    i was thinking about writing a review with song by song, but i realized i can't do that as i listen to it more and more.  That's the reason i've been postponding to writing a review, but finally here it is!!! (I actually don't  know how many people would read this, but i'm still going to do it haha)

   Dream Theater - Score: XOX 20th Anniversary World Tour; Live with The Octavarium Orchestra

   This album contains three awesome discs.  As always, they didn't fail my expectation with their quality live album.  Packaging looks great, except i still wish that it comes w/ hard jewl case.  As i press the play button, the ending of the "Sacrificed Sosn" plays and the goes into "The Root of All Evil".  I was wondering if this was acutally after Disc Two to give orchestra team some break or not (haha only thought, don't comment on this).  Two new songs "Afterlife" and "Innocence Faded" felt like created for John Petrucci.  A lot of guitar riffs that points out him more than anything, somewhat feel like those old 80s, but more power into it.  Also it's a lot lighter, cheerful riffs. How they end this set is pretty interesting too.  From somewhat depressing "Raise The Knife" to some what encouraging "The Spirit Carries On".  Man, i love "The Spirit Carries On".  To me this Disc 1 is like an opening show for main, some people might not like it, cause "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" is close to 41.5 mins and "Octavarium" is also about 26.5 mins, simply too long.  Who cares!!! It's even more amazing.  I was expecting more like Metallica S&M Album, distinct difference from their original and this one.  I was little bit disappointed in the beginning, but as i listen to more and more, i became astoned at how great they are.  Just like Orchestra was originally in the band, everything was very smooth and nice-

   If you are a Dream Theater fan, you definently gotta run out right now and get the CD!!!
