      I'm sure Mike will appreciate it, but yeah the stuff from ADTOE will rub him the wrong way. I don't blame him. In my opinion if DT had written ADTOE without portnoy, then welcomed MP back to record it, it would have been one of the greatest DT albums ever.

    "In the presence of enemies the solitary shell is about to crash with the dance of eternity. Lost but not forgotten the stream of consciousness and panic attack through all along the dark eternal night.
    Bridges in the sky and enemy inside the glass prison, act of Faythe was like a saviour in the Square; breaking all illusions on these walls of my solitary shell."

    What a brilliant overture to Dream Theater's vibes! That was a very incredible work! Love this!
