This just dropped today.....
Tony Levin is 74 and still plays crazy stuff like that.
I dig it btw.
Listening to it, I immediately remember why I can't stand the recent Dream Theater albums.
There's an energy and sense of fun that went missing when Mike left the band (and Mike is a good arranger), and it's very much present again here. Mangini doesn't have that sort of personality, he's just an insanely technically gifted drummer.
