1) I don't like the new album. At all, I think its crap.
2) I don't like Petrucci. Maybe this is heresy... but I just think that guy has got awfully boring, ESPECIALLY his lead playing. Well, no, not his lead playing. Just his solos. When he plays along with the keyboard and bass I love it. But his solos are just wank wank wank. When your keyboardist has awesome solos, without the wank factor... you kind of have to follow that (in my opinion of course).
